In the fire department category, first place went to the Ontario Hose Company of Norwich; Oxford came in second, the Red Knights came in third, McDonough came in fourth and Plymouth earned the fifth place prize. In the community groups category, Chenango Welding took first place. Coming in second through fifth place, respectively, were GHS Federal Credit Union, The Label Gallery, NBT Bank and Visions Federal Credit Union.
