The annual Chamber Awards Banquet was held last Saturday evening at St. Mary's Parish Hall.  This year's theme was "My Boss is a Patriot" which focused on the NM National Guard and how employers can support the Guard and Reserve.  We were honored to have Brigadier General Fox from the NM Army National Guard as key note speaker as well as members of the Farmington Army National Guard, the Farmington High School Color Guard, and the Bloomfield ROTC.  The Farmington HS Color Guard presented the American Flag and the Bloomfield ROTC offered a drill team presentation.  Additional photos may be found in the photo gallery.
