We love businesses that love Dane County. The Isthmus Independent Business Awards recognizes companies that operate in a community-minded way and, in the process, make this a pretty awesome place to live.
You can meet the winners in the following profiles -- or, better yet, meet them in person at an awards ceremony that benefits Dane Buy Local. It features appetizers, drinks and a silent auction at the Madison Concourse Hotel, 1 W. Dayton St. (Monday, Nov. 4, 5-8 p.m.). For tickets, call 608-251-5627; stop by Isthmus at 101 King St.; or see IsthmusIndies.com.
The Isthmus Indies is sponsored by Monona State Bank and presented by Isthmus in cooperation with Dane Buy Local.
