From the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you, thank you! After being the Director of the Angier Chamber of Commerce for over ten years, this was the first event I’ve ever had to miss. I hated more than anything not to be there to see everyone. Small businesses and citizens – thank you for allowing the Chamber to serve you in 2024 and we can’t wait to see what 2025 holds. We’ve already started off with a bang! Thank you to each person and every small business that makes me enjoy what I do. – Shelby Blackmon, Executive Director.
