Marion County Executive Director Carla Eysink said that in addition to naming this year’s award winners, past winners of the pitch contest were in attendance to provide updates on their businesses.

“We had our two winners from the past two years come back, so that was Kaaswagen and Maiden Holland, so it was fun to hear their stories and their updates for what they’ve been doing and just a fun night to have entrepreneurs across the county network and talk all things entrepreneurship.”
