A couple of new businesses took center stage at the Kenora and District Chamber of Commerce's annual business awards.

Taras Manzies says they still have big plans for their product and building on Second Street South and expect to be able to sell their beer at the LCBO soon.

Meanwhile, Good Things won for best new business under two years old.
