“This decision was not made lightly. Our plans are to reschedule the banquet as soon as conditions allow. Invitations will be mailed and a notice in the local newspapers will announce the date. We look forward to celebrating these individuals and groups in the safest way possible” said Linda Harbuck, Franklin Chamber Executive Director.

The 2020 nominations for Citizen of the Year, Duke Citizenship Award, Youth Citizen of the Year, Organization of the Year, and Chamber Member of the Year have been received and winners will be decided soon. Winners will be announced and awards presented later this year when the banquet can be rescheduled.
