Barron Chamber honors Jennie-O Turkey Store
4 Sep 2019
Barron
Jennie-O Turkey Store, Barron, lost two employees in a violent crime last year, offered a $25,000 reward to help solve the crime, allowed hundreds of its employees to help search for a missing girl, and helped feed hundreds of volunteers with donated food.
For those deeds, and many others, the Hormel-owned company was honored by the Barron Chamber of Commerce with the annual Business & Industry Award during a ceremony Wednesday evening, Aug. 28, 2019, at Anderson Park.
The presentation helped kick off the Chamber’s final “Music in the Park” event, which also included a fundraiser supper, also hosted by Jennie-O. Chamber spokesperson Ann Matheny presented the award to Jeremy Miller, the company’s manager of human resources.
