2025 Chamber Awards Gala
The Greater International Falls Chamber of Commerce held their 2025 Annual Awards Gala on Thursday night, April 24. This Gala celebrated the people, businesses and organizations that make the community a better place. So we spoke with the Chamber Executive Director JJ McBride.
