Tomorrow the Chamber is hosting a sold-out Small Business of the Year Awards Luncheon. It’s a great opportunity to celebrate small business in general and to honor some worthy companies in particular. I wrote about the importance of small business in a column in the Coloradoan last weekend, which you can read here.

Out of dozens of companies, the six finalists are Alphagraphics, Brinkman Partners, MazTech & All-Tech Automotive, Palmer Flowers, Shaw & Associates, and The Cupboard.

Congratulations and thank you for all you do for our community!

Special thanks to our sponsors.

While we’re talking small business, you might want to check out the Blogroll to the left. There are some great resources here for small businesses.

We really appreciate our small businesses, which make up the vast majority of the Chamber’s membership. We love hearing your stories and the passion you bring to serving your customers and community.
