Midway Business Association kicks off holiday season after winning Business of the Year award from Chamber

The Midway Business Association kicked off the holiday season today, hours after winning the Business of the Year award from the Woodford County Chamber of Commerce.

Above, shoppers began strolling Main Street at or before the official opening time of 10 a.m. for street vendors, who were numerous.

City Hall and its restrooms were open, thanks to volunteers from Midway Renaisssance, and elements of Midway's history were on display.

Last night, MBA Treasurer Leslie Penn and Secretary Steve Morgan posed with the award at the annual Chamber Gala at The Galerie in Versailles.

Penn said the association was nominated by attorney Whitney Dunlap. The award is given to a Chamber member who has contributed greatly to the county. The citation said the MBA "has contributed to the success of the numerous events held annually in Midway through their promotions, ideas, and volunteers. These efforts have drawn thousands of people to Midway and Woodford County."
