The Tarkio Chamber of Commerce will once again recognize Tarkio citizens and employees and farm families who go above and beyond to make our small community such a wonderful place to live and work. Ballot cans will be set up at local businesses including the US Bank, Farmers State Bank, Avalanche, Flower Mill, Hy-Vee, and Torrey Pines. Voters will be asked to write down who their choice is for Citizen of the Year, Employee of the Year, and Farm Family of the Year. Youth volunteers will also be recognized.

Due to a number of reasons, there will not be a banquet held this year, but the honorees will be recognized in the Atchison County Mail newspaper March 28, 2019. Ballot boxes will be picked up March 15 so be sure to place your votes before then. There are many people who live and work in Tarkio who truly deserve these honors, so please contribute your vote!
