Nancy Johnson was the big winner at the annual Go Pine River banquet on Monday, Oct. 7, at Bites Grill and Bar.

The banquet is an annual wrap-up event that offers the Pine River Chamber of Commerce the opportunity to update those assembled on the economic and business developments throughout the community. It is also a fundraiser that supports the Pine River Information Center building, which is 20 years old this year.

In addition to Johnson, there were two $500 winners, Jerry Anderson and Pete Mohs, publisher representing the PineandLakes Echo Journal. Johnson was absent from the event, but received the check at home the same evening.
