Award Winning Small Business

The 2012 Burlington Chamber Business Excellence Awards Gala was a great success with plenty of surprises and a very happy crowd. This year’s gala was the largest in Burlington Chamber history. We were especially pleased to have the Consul General for the People’s Republic of China as a special guest. The evening started with a champagne reception for awards finalists, sponsors and VIPs. This was followed by cocktail reception for all guests. After a terrific dinner the awards presentations began. CHCH News Anchor Nick Dixon was the very able Master of Ceremonies and he guided the crowd through a variety of award presentions during the evening. The highlight of the gala each year was the videos of the finalist companies and this year’s videos proved to be very exciting and entertaining.
