AUGUSTA – Former Kennebec Valley Chamber of Commerce President Peter Thompson will be recognized at the Kennebec Valley Chamber of Commerce’s annual awards, the Kenney Awards, Friday, Jan. 26.
The awards dinner is at the Augusta Civic Center from 5 to 10 p.m.
The Kenney, named for the region it hails from, is awarded annually to area businesses and professionals that are deserving of the community’s attention and recognition.

This year’s award recipients are Thompson, who stepped down a year ago after 26 years; Norman Elvin, Lajoie Brothers Inc., Large Business of the Year; and Capital Area Staffing Solutions, Small Business of the Year.
The winners of the three remaining categories – President’s Choice, Community Service, and Cynergy Young Professional – will be decided and announced live.
After watching short videos of the finalists in each category, attendees of the Kenney Awards will cast their votes by texting in for the finalist they wish to see take home the Kenney.
The finalists for the President’s Choice Award are Darling’s Auto Group, Marketplace at Augusta, and Thomas College. The finalists for the Community Service Award are Ray Fecteau, GEvolution Fitness, and Cecil Munson. The finalists for the Cynergy Young Professional Award are Jac Arbour, Erika Bush, and Rachel Merriam.
