HUNTSVILLE, Alabama – Mirror balls, disco music and platform shoes will fill the Von Braun Center North Hall next month during the Chamber of Commerce of Huntsville/Madison County’s 29th-annual Small Business Awards Celebration.
The event, which kicks off with drinks at 5 p.m. Sept. 4, will recognize small businesses that contribute to the community through their products, services or attributes. Registration information can be found here.
