Area Businesses Receive 6 Awards

Area business owners were honored in Green Bay Thursday for their impact on the community.

Six awards were handed out at the annual Business Recognition Luncheon at the KI Convention Center.

Larry Trenkler of Bay Tek Games received the Business Person of the Year Award.

The Entrepreneurial Award went to Breakthrough Fuel, and the Green Award to Valley Trucking-Valley Transfer. Other awards included the Growth Award to Jet Air Group, the Cornerstone to Leonard and Finco Public Relations and the Special Accomplishment award to Insight Creative.

Event organizers say it's important to recognize community contributors.

"Small business accounts for the majority of job growth within the United States...so it's important to the continued vitality of the Brown County economy that we have this continued growth of small to medium sized business," said Fred Monique, the interim President for the Green Bay Chamber of Commerce.

FOX 11's Tom Milbourn was the emcee for the 17th annual event.
