Business Pride winner for the 3rd quarter is Dacotah Bank

Promoting "Back to School Awareness" across all their front windows, resulted in Dacotah Bank being named the winner

of the Hettinger Area Chamber of Commerce Business Pride event for the third quarter.

Business Pride winner for the 4th quarter is KB Jewelers

Kent and Kathleen Brackel owners of KB Jewelers host several special shopping events during the holiday season to draw

customers not only to their store but to neighboring stores as well. They are very willing to open for extended hours during

the holidays to better accommodate shoppers. Attractive and ever changing displays encourage people to browse their store.

Kathleen Brackel is committed to keeping Hettinger's Wake up Santa Parade alive and festive. Due to her efforts this year's

parade, which draws hundreds of people to Hettinger to kick off the holiday shopping season, was awesome!

It is obvious that KB Jewelers fulfills the 4th quarter Business Pride requirements of promoting "Business Pride in Holiday Spirit"

Business Pride winner for the 1st Quarter is Hedahl's Parts Plus

Hedahl's Parts Plus was selected as the "Business Employee Pride" winner for the first quarter of 2010. The committee

indicated, "We chose them for the friendly service, employee pride in what they do, clean exterior and welcoming atmosphere."

Congratulations to Manager Randy Holler and employees Mike Johnson and Justin Wiskus for a job well done!

Hettinger Area Chamber of Commerce Business Pride Committee has announced the "Business Pride by Beautification" winner for the second quarter of 2010 which is Carmel's Cleaners owned by Joel and Paige Bonomo.

Congratulations to Carmel's Cleaners for doing an outstanding job of beautifying the outside of their business which gives a positive impression to their customers as well as those shopping or strolling up and down Hettinger's Main Streets.

On the days Joel is on his pick up and

delivery routes Jerel Seamands, whose office

is next door, often is so kind to water the

plants.

Thank you also to the Hettinger Jaycees for purchasing and setting off the incredible fireworks and to the other organizations, who held special events during the celebration.
