The Portage County Business Council is proud to announce that Eron’s Event Barn has been selected as the recipient of the 2021 Entrepreneur of the Year and the Humane Society of Portage County has been selected as the recipient of the 2021 Portage County Charitable Community Award.

Eron’s Event Barn, owners John and Melissa Eron were chosen based on their growth and financial stability; dedication to customer service and community needs; and innovative efforts to identify a market niche. They are located at 3471 County Road C in Stevens Point.

The Humane Society of Portage County located at 3200 Iber Lane in Plover, was chosen based on their ongoing work since 1969 of protecting, rescuing and rehoming of animals in Portage County.

Both award recipients were chosen from over 15 nominees and were selected in a juried process by a panel of business representatives.

Eron’s Event Barn, the Humane Society of Portage County, and the other award nominees will be recognized at the Portage County Business Council’s Creative Excellence Breakfast on Tuesday, April 6 at the Holiday Inn Hotel & Convention Center in Stevens Point.
