Post Falls Chamber: Many things to celebrate

Spring is coming soon according to Punxsutawney Phil so I offer warm greetings from the Post Falls Chamber of Commerce team. This year has been rocking and rolling, and we have many things to celebrate. Let’s start with the newest members of the Recognition Gala Hall of Fame. The gala occurred the day after Valentine’s Day and love was definitely in the air. We had the honor of celebrating some of the brightest stars in our community. If you run into any of the people listed below, let them know how appreciated they are.
