More photos from the Bangor chamber’s awards dinner

Here are some more shots from the Bangor Region Chamber of Commerce’s annual awards dinner, which was held Wednesday evening at the Bangor Civic Center. (I apologize for not including a photo of former State Sen. Richard Rosen with his Bunyan for winning the Catherine Lebowitz Award for Public Service.)

Hamming it up before the show: From the left, Yellow Breen, executive vice president at Bangor Savings Bank; Ric Tyler, MC for the evening; and Tony Caruso, director of the Bangor International Airport.

Drew Scroggins, son of Josh Scroggins, director of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals of EMHS, holds the organization’s award for Nonprofit of the Year.

The tables were well decorated. The planning and presentation that went into entertaining and feeding more than 800 people was immense.
