The Lockney Chamber of Commerce celebrated citizens and businesses at their annual recognition banquet on Feb. 7, 2026, delayed after a January winter storm made travel inadvisable.
Sixty people gathered to honor citizens and businesses selected for their excellence during the past year, according to D’Lyn Morris, chamber vice president.
