PATRICK COUNTY – The Patrick County Chamber of Commerce celebrated local businesses and organizations at this year's awards soiree. The awards ceremony, held on February 8, was themed the Chinese New Year. This year's award winners are:




Carlson volunteers at Caring Hearts Free Clinic of Patrick County, Piedmont Community Services, her church, local schools and many other organizations.

This award is determined by the Patrick County Chamber of Commerce. It is awarded to an organization who assists the Chamber in carrying out their mission. The Chamber says, "The Rotary Club of Stuart is a vital part of our community, from the fair and beach music festival that provide entertainment, to scholarships to high school graduates and the green team that helps clean up our local roadways. The Chamber could not produce the Peach Festival without their volunteer help."
