International Falls Chamber of Commerce is creating a new award to honour its strongest supporters.
The new Pillar award replaces the small business and large business of the year awards traditionally handed out each spring.
The first recipients are Boise Paper, Bremer Bank, Coca-Cola Bottling, The Journal, Mid-Continent Communications and KGHS-KSDM radio.
The Chamber will still issue an award for Citizen of the Year.
Nominations for this year are now being accepted
