Dear Lake City Community,

In the heart of our picturesque town, where the mountains meet the sky and the spirit of community thrives, we find countless individuals and organizations whose unwavering dedication makes Lake City the vibrant place we all cherish.

Each year, the Lake City Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Lake City DIRT, hosts Celebrate Lake City—an event dedicated to honoring these unsung heroes.

This celebration isn’t just another date on our calendar; it’s a heartfelt acknowledgment of the people and businesses that go above and beyond to enrich our community. From the neighbor who volunteers tirelessly, to the local business that supports every town event, these are the pillars that uphold the unique charm of Lake City.
However, recognizing these contributors begins with you. We invite every resident to participate by voting for:

• Citizen of the Year
• Chamber Business of the Year
• Organization of the Year
  

Your votes are more than just selections; they’re affirmations of appreciation and gratitude. They shine a spotlight on those who often work behind the scenes, ensuring our town remains a wonderful place to live, work, and visit.

In recent years, we’ve noticed a decline in participation for these nominations and votes. Yet, the importance of acknowledging our community’s efforts has never been greater. Let’s come together to celebrate the dedication, passion, and hard work that define Lake City.
To vote, please visit lakecity.com/vote

Let’s honor those who make Lake City exceptional. Your voice matters—let’s use it to celebrate our community.

_{Warm regards,
Kat Menzies
Director, Lake City/Hinsdale County
