In a welcome return from a three-year COVID hiatus, the Greater Marathon Chamber of Commerce held its annual Installation and Awards Banquet for more than 240 guests on Oct. 21 at Hawks Cay Resort. Following a cocktail hour overlooking the picturesque dolphin lagoons at Dolphin Connection, the party moved inside to honor outgoing and incoming members of the chamber’s board of directors and recognize outstanding businesses in the Marathon community. “We could not have asked for a better evening and event,” said chamber CEO Daniel Samess. “It was an amazing venue at Hawks Cay Resort, and we had some great laughs. We look forward to finishing 2022 strong and to a productive 2023 under the leadership of our new board chair Robyn Still.”
