Walhalla city leaders and members of Partners for Progress were among those in the audience for last week’s annual membership and awards banquet held by the Greater Walhalla Area Chamber of Commerce. They heard the event’s featured speaker, Pickens City Administrator Katherine Hendricks, talk about revitalization, business development and the South Carolina Main Street program. The Business of the Year Award went to Carolina Pizza Company and their owners, Chad and Leah Duncan. Introduced during the event were five high school juniors and seniors who served as Ambassadors to the Chamber. One of them, Shania Wright, was awarded a scholarship for college.
