The Delano Chamber presents “Best of Delano” awards to recognize thriving businesses

DELANO, Calif. (KERO) – The Delano Chamber of Commerce has decided to create certain awards for Delano residents. These awards range from Best Hairdresser, Best Volunteer and Best Tacos.

  • The local newspaper used to distribute certificates recognizing local businesses. Now the Chamber is doing something similar.
  • This is the third year, but it is the first time the Chamber of Commerce has presented the “Best of Delano” award.
  • With over 30 themes to choose from, awards range from Best Bakery to Best Coffee to Best Florist.

The city of Delano is rich in culture. From the different businesses in town to the people who make it all work.
That’s why the Chamber is hosting an awards ceremony to recognize the community and their hard work.

In past years, the Delano Chamber of Commerce has hosted awards ceremonies, but these have been aimed only at chamber members.

But that’s changing this year because the chamber has given out the “Best of Delano” awards. There are over 40 categories to choose from, from Best Restaurant to Best Coffee to Best Volunteer.

“It is a great achievement to have a business and be successful. It is important to know that the commitment within the community is maintained. I think this is a way to recognize these businesses and give them an additional platform to actually market their business,” said Chamber President Sunshine Hernandez.

Hernandez says the awards extend beyond Delano companies, too. She says Bakersfield businesses could also be nominated if they provide services to Delano.

Since nominations opened on September 25, there have been over 3,400 voters with over 20,000 votes cast.

The deadline for submitting nominations is October 18 at 3 p.m

Winners will be announced and recognized on October 25 at the Delano State of the City, Board Installation and Community Awards.
