It’s official: Easter House Bed and Breakfast, 508 N. Main St., is the 2017 Ada Area Chamber of Commerce’s business of the year.
David Dellifield, chamber president, made the announcement at the Feb. 15 chamber annual dinner in McIntosh Center.
Accepting the award were owners Mark Hilan and Amy Eddings.
The business is barely one year old, yet the owners have proven worthy of the award through several efforts to promote Ada through their business and being a driving force to launch the Made in Ada Wilson Football Festival.
