PV Chamber Report
Our new year began July 1st and we kicked if off with a
celebration of the past 2016-2017 year. A wonderful crowd
of business members, elected officials, organizations and
individuals came together to the Prescott Resort on July 14
for an evening of first class festivities and merriment. The
highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Com-
munity Excellence Awards and we are proud to share the
