ORRVILLE Chamber members cut loose, kicked off their Sunday shoes, and lost those COVID blues as they reassembled at the annual awards dinner and Celebration of Community.
A pleasant summer evening greeted guests on Thursday as they gathered outside Orrville High School for the Orrville Area Chamber of Commerce event that took a more laid-back approach this year.
Guests enjoyed grilled Gerber s chicken and other picnic sides from Buehler’s Ferris Food Truck. After dinner, they all headed inside for the awards presentation in the high school s performing arts center.
It was a welcome change to return in person following last year’s all-virtual event. The chamber still gave the option of attending the 2021 awards virtually, including a carry-out meal from Buehler’s in Orrville.
