PITTSBURG, Kan. – The Pittsburg Area Chamber of Commerce Thursday held it’s annual banquet.
Sen. Jerry Moran was in attendance for the event, which presents awards to area businesses like “Small Business of the Year” and the “Spirit of Pittsburg Award.
“I’m certainly supportive of the businesses in Pittsburg and the members of the Chamber of Commerce,” said Sen. Moran. “But I’m supportive of them because one: its the American dream. People have an idea about starting a business and growing a business, but the most important thing is how we employ people. It’s how (to) earn a paycheck. It’s how people can then save money for their kids education. How we can save for retirement.”
The banquet was held in Pitt State’s Overman Student Center.
