JACKSON — After being held as a virtual event last year, the Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce’s annual dinner and awards meeting was live and lively on Wednesday, held, as in 2019, in a function tent at the Wentworth: A Country Inn in Jackson on Tuesday evening with a Nor’easter pelting down heavy rain outside.
“Isn’t it great to see everyone live and in person? And thanks to the Wentworth for hosting us once again tonight,” said emcee and chamber vice president Rob Clark.
