The Humboldt and District Chamber of Commerce released the nominees for the 2018 Mark of Excellence celebration.
Local business owner and entreprenuers will gather on March 7 to award Humboldt and area businesses for their success over the past year.
Humboldt and District Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, Stacey Poss, says that all the nominees were nominated from members of the community.
Over 20 different businesses were nominated in eight categories, including community involvement and community merit as well as marketing, service, and growth and expansion.
The chamber started taking nominations during the Humboldt and District Chamber of Commerce Fall Expo at the beginning of November, says Poss, which was a fruitful venture considering the amount of nominations they received.
Many businesses were nominated in two categories and many businesses outside of Humboldt were also nominated.

“It’s an honour for the Humboldt and District Chamber of Commerce to help celebrate their successes and achievements.”
Poss welcomes everyone to join the celebration at the Mark of Excellence award ceremony on March 7 since this is a time where Humboldt residents to get to know local business owners.
During the evening, there will be no winners and losers, says Poss, but a celebration of everyone’s accomplishments as part of the Humboldt and area business community.
