And The Award Goes To…

The Grandview Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual Grandy Awards Dinner on Thursday, October 22nd, 2026, where it named Business of the Year, Nonprofit of the Year, Community Champion, and Excellence in Leadership.

Businesses were recognized for their achievements throughout the year, including milestone anniversaries, major projects and expansions, and opening a new business. Additionally, four individuals were honored with special awards: the Legacy Award, the Social Champion Award, Chamber Champion Award, and Most Valuable Volunteer.

The delicious dinner was catered by Katie’s Catering! Over 30 guests went home with a prize from our Grand Reserve Drink Pull. Thomas Rousey was the lucky winner of the 50/50 raffle, taking home $370!
