The Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce put on quite the show on Saturday, February 25.
The Evening of Excellence honoured businesses in 11 different categories, in a pretty fancy ceremony at the Heritage Inn.
Decor was awesome, with a new award presentation area introduced at this year's ceremony. Once Dana Welsh-Osiowy referred to it as the Stargate, all bets were off for jokes from MC D'arcy Kennedy.
Dinner was fantastic, as usual. Chicken cordon bleu with a side of veggies (never been one for the small stuff, it's carrots and brussel sprouts to me) and an apple strudel for dessert.
I was sitting at Table four, near the front with many of Cranbrook's area politicians, Mayor Wayne Stetski, city councilors Angus Davis, Diana Scott and Area C Director Rob Gay. I had a great chance to talk shop with our Mayor and visit with some of my co-workers at the Heritage Inn, as they served that awesome meal.
