Dockside Fish Market Wins Joel Labovitz AwardCongratulations to Grand Marais entrepreneurs Shele and Harley Toftey for winning the prestigious Joel Labovitz Entreprenurial Success Award during a lavish ceremony at the Duluth Events and Convention Center (DECC). Award recipients are chosen by a panel selected by the UMD Center for Economic Development. Criteria used to evaluate each nominee included--competition in the industry, personal and financial risks taken, impact to the local and regional economy, and ability of the business to adapt to change.
Laurie Spry, Dick Powell and I all had the pleasure of watching Shele accept this award before a crowd of approximately 350 that included Arrowhead Region business leaders, fellow entrepreneurs, IRRB and SBA representatives, the Duluth News Tribune, and Duluth Mayor Don Ness. The Northland News Center's News Manager Barbara Reyelts was the Master of Ceremonies.
Thank you, Shele and Harley, for all that you do for the City of Grand Marais and Cook County!
