Chamber of Commerce Marketing and Development Director Amanda Loveland said they want people to submit nominations for their wall of fame.
“That’s a virtual wall of fame where you can nominate your grandma who teaches you how to pick green beans out of the garden or if you want to bring attention to your bus driver who picks up your kids every morning and has a smiling face,” she said.
