the dinner for the Business of the Year has got be he highlight of Ihe year for hi Georgetown Chamber of Commerce With at least two good old fashion sing Ihe packed audience many of whom had obviously

yon Pomcroy Bill and Wheldon Joined our cur rent Mayor Miller In con tula ting the Bums families on their success over the past years Without a doubt the most enter speaker of the night was Slcamer Steamer act which many thought might have on intermission and a second act kept the laughs coming at dazzling pace He Joked not only about Bob Clare Don and Jim who was unable to moke he dinner because he was vacationing In he sunny south but he pot shots himself Remarkably Steamer was able to get Ihe entire audience lo sing along with him on Jesus wants you for a Sunbeam But It was the Bums brothers and their families who made show Each stood with car lo car grins as the llallon litis Hillbillies adorned them wilh Bums Transport Caps and even a bushy haired wig The Ihrce brothers obviously en joyed the night as much as the rest of the audience It one thing to read about the Business of the Year In the papers But anyone who attended I he dinner must now have a much better appreciation for the award winners and the efforts the Chamber for making them fee special It was good to see our town take the bull by horns and lay down law before agreeing to send a roprcsentati to
