Lantern Awards Light the Way for Westfield Chamber

The Westfield Lantern Awards is a time-honored tradition of the Westfield Chamber of Commerce. The signature community recognition event began in 1982.

The event celebrates the community of Westfield and is a semi-formal dinner reception designed to bring the community together for an evening of fellowship while recognizing and honoring outstanding residents and businesses. This year’s Awards Ceremony will take place this Thursday at the Prairie Waters Event Center in Westfield.

The Chamber will hand out awards in eleven categories at the awards ceremony. Seven of the award winners are a surprise and will be announced the evening of the event.
