Forward Janesville presents awards

Challenges brought on by the recent downturn in the economy were not lost during Thursday's luncheon.

Bagley used the opportunity to help inspire the 300 or so of his fellow business leaders in attendance at the Pontiac Convention Center. Bagley reassured the gathering, Janesville would rebound. He also says what is done over the next five years will define the community for the next 50.

Volunteer of the Year Nick Fitzgerald. Small Business Person of the Year Todd Duckworth. Office Pro as Small Business of the Year. Rock Road Companies for Large Business.

Shows you how small time those awards are. It was a luncheon and not even an awards dinner. Hendricks is the only impressive one on that list.
