✨ What a night! ✨
We were so proud that Graphics & Awards Unlimited not only sponsored but also created all of the awards for the Chamber of Commerce Gala this year, (with the exception of Duke Energy’s Award)🏆

I missed having my co-owner and husband, Kelly Aldridge, by my side (which meant I ended up speaking and presenting our award without him… 😳! 😅).

A huge thank you to Terri Mitchell for all of her hard work helping with the business — we couldn’t do it without you! 💕 And thank you to my guests for joining me and making the evening even more special.

👏 Congratulations to the Town of Rutherfordton for receiving the Graphics & Awards Unlimited Environmental Sustainability Award that I had the honor of presenting. 🌿💚

It was such a fun night celebrating our community’s achievements, and we’re honored to have been part of it! 🌟
