A collective 400 years of business acumen were celebrated on Thursday night during the eighth annual Economic Development Sedalia-Pettis County Manufacturer’s Milestone Anniversary Recognition dinner.
The event, hosted at the Sedalia Country Club, saw public officials and community leaders join the owners and managers of businesses both large and small. Rusty Kahrs, president-elect for EDSPC and master of ceremonies, told attendees that honorees deserved the evening’s recognition for “taking advantage of the opportunities and working hard” in building their respective businesses.
