The evening wrapped up with a message from the Chamber President Paul Chambers. He thanked everyone who worked so hard to put this night together. Chambers said they had to deal with some adversity this year and at one point it looked like they might even have to cancel the event. They didn't of course and Chambers thanked everyone who worked so hard to make the night a success.
