Small Business Awards event canceled

EL DORADO — The El-Dorado and Union County Chamber of Commerce will not be having its 2020 Spirit of South Arkansas Small Business Awards due to the ongoing pandemic according to Jaren Books, membership and events coordinator.

The event was slated to take place at the El Dorado Conference Center. This year would have marked the fifth awards ceremony.

“Unfortunately it (the awards) is among a bunch of events that we have had to cancel. We canceled our Business After Hours, annual Banquet, Administrative Appreciation Luncheon, Economic Outlook Luncheon and a few other events,” Books said.

Currently, there are no plans to reschedule the awards.
