Chamber Ambassadors Visit Wild Prairie Bakery and VCBC Public Library, May 13th
The Valley City Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors headed downtown to pop in at Wild Prairie Bakery this week to honor owner Erin Hannig. Chamber Executive Vice President Kay Vinje said that the special occasion was to honor the business with a special award. This, she continued, was a 2020 award, one which the Chamber hadn’t been able to award because of the cancellation of the annual awards banquet.
“We are thrilled to honor Wild Prairie Bakery with the 2020 Community Image Award,” Vinje said. “As members of the Chamber of Commerce, it’s obvious why they’ve been selected for this award.
You look into this beautiful bakery, and enjoy that welcoming environment, the aroma of fresh-baked goods—we can see, smell and taste why Wild Prairie Bakery has been a wonderful addition to our community and a hub of joyful gathering.”
The plaque presented to Erin recognizes her “outstanding efforts to improve/beautify the image of your property for the betterment of Valley City / Barnes County.”
The Ambassadors then headed to the VCBC Public Library, where they met with Director Steve Hammel and discussed the challeneges and successes that the library has experienced in recent months. Hammel emphasized that, since many people are under the impression the library is currently closed, it’s imperative to get the word out about it being, in fact,
OPEN. Ambassadors toured the new section of the library and talked about all the exiting library activities that will be going on throughout the summer.
