We held our Annual Awards Banquet on January 26th,and we were thrilled by the outstanding turnout! From everything that we heard the evening did not disappoint!
Chamber members, friends and their families filled the room and enjoyed plenty of food, fun and the opportunity to help celebrate the awards given to the businesses and individuals who made a meaningful impact in Russell in 2025.
Recognizing these businesses and individuals gives all of us the chance to show them how much we appreciate their hard work, dedication and commitment to the community and let them know they are truly valued. Your participation in the nomination process helps to identify who deserves these awards. You invest time, energy and money into your business to make it successful and recognition of that effort helps us move forward together.
