The Fort Frances Chamber of Commerce recognizes businesses, organizations, and individuals for outstanding business achievement and the contributions made to the economic growth of the Rainy River District.
This year’s event felt really significant, because it was a chance to FINALLY get together publicly to celebrate the hard work that our local businesses, entrepreneurs and employee continue to do, especially through our current circumstances.
Thanks to the Chamber for a fun filled evening!
Thanks to La Place Rendez-Vous for hosting the event and serving up a delicious meal!
