early 1,100 respondents cast votes last fall for their favorite businesses, organizations, and individuals in the community — the best turnout we’ve ever had! The 2020 Annual Chamber Awards were presented on location on November 23 and 24 with each award winner at their respective businesses. Due to COVID-19, we decided not to hold a larger in-person awards event this year. Winners were announced daily at 4 p.m. beginning December 1 and concluded with the full video presentation at 7 p.m. on December 7. A very special thank-you to our Celebration Sponsors this year: Camden National Bank, Changing Seasons Federal Credit Union, and Hannaford. •
