The tables were set, the food was made, and the people arrived. Webb City's Chamber diner began.
Thursday night, hundreds went out to Webb City High School where the Webb City Area Chamber of Commerce put on their Annual Banquet.
Jason Hamlin, owner of Van Vans, was honored as Business Leader of The Year.
Jeff Montgomery, noticeably missing, who skipped out on the event to attend the Mizzou game in Columbia(and everyone made sure to point that out,) received the Baker Champion Booster award.
The Web City Lions Club won the Community Service Award, mainly for their production of "Springtime on Broadway," the successful downtown experience put on last year.
Several Webb City educators were honored at the event. 1st Grade teacher Heidy Hathcock, 7th Grade teacher Jeff Payne, 6th Grade teacher David Adams, Special Education teacher Amanda Taylor, and Webb City High School's Randall Hayes were all honored as Teacher of The Year.
Hugh S. Hatcher, graduate of Carterville High School in 1950, was inducted into the R7 Hall of Fame.
The event closed with a good-bye from the chamber's new president, Lou Gutheil.
SPOTTED:
- Dr. Ron Lankford, Superintendent of Schools, speaking with Senator Gary Nodler.
- Senator Gary Nodler, who left very quickly to go to another dinner.
- A representative from Congressman (and current Senate candidate) Roy Blunt's office.
- Mayor John Biggs of Webb City. He didn't have much to say.
- THE Bob Foos, shooting pictures from his seat. I'm pretty sure he used the napkin to dry off his camera. So, we stole the napkin.
