Chamber of Commerce Citizen and Business of the Year Celebration Postponed
The Altadena Chamber of Commerce and Civic Association has postponed its annual Citizen and Business of the Year Recognition until later in the year. Originally scheduled for February 5th, a new date will not be determined until there is a better handle on the direction of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Chamber wanted to wait until a time that the event could take place in person, rather than thru a virtual medium. Said President Doug Colliflower, “we’d like to provide a recognition that will be reflective of the tremendous achievements of our two recipients, Mark Mariscal, and Scott & Lori Webster of Hoopla”.

Business of the Year went to Hoopla! An Emporium of Good Things (2591 Fair Oaks Ave). Lori & Scott Webster (owners) have spent years highlighting the works of local artists, authors & Altadena based micro food businesses; giving them all a place to launch their goods.
