HERKIMER - The Herkimer County Chamber of Commerce held their 40th Annual Membership Luncheon Thursday.

It was held at the Crystal Chandelier Restaurant in Herkimer and had several guest speakers, including Senator James Seward and Assemblyman Marc Butler.

The chamber also honored Colonel James Hill of New Hartford for his work within various community organizations and agencies. Colonel Hill says that he was flattered by the honor and holds a very special place in his heart for Herkimer County and its residents.

"It's a great honor," Colonel Hill said. "I've been a member of the chamber since 1971. I live in New Hartford, but it feel like Herkimer County's my home, because of the way people have treated me and the outstanding character of the people that live here."

The chamber also honored Richard Obreza of Richard Obreza Trucking for "Businessperson of the Year" and Enea Family Funeral Homes for "Business of the Year."
