Celebrate Dixon

The Dixon Chamber of Commerce is proud to present “Celebrate Dixon” where we will honor the 61st Annual Citizen of the Year, the 28th Annual Business of the Year, the Ambassador of the Year, and the Veteran of the Year. A new category for the awards this year is the category of Nonprofit of the Year, and the 1st Annual award will also be given out.

Following the delicious dinner of tri-tip, chicken, potatoes and salads, the awards will be presented to deserving Dixon citizens who have made a significant impact on the quality of life in Dixon.

In addition, there will also be raffle prizes and a silent auction to help offset the costs of the event.
