May 2016 Small Business of the Month [Video]

GRAFTON – Raging Rivers Water Park was named May’s Small Business of the Month by the River Bend Growth Association (RBGA) weeks before the park opens for the 2016 season. 

The Small Business of the Month Award recipients are given signage as well as a $4,200 promotional package. The award is given to locally-owned small businesses, which are members of the RBGA. Raging Rivers has won the honor several times, and was given the RBGA “Captain of the River Bend” Award in 2015. 

Award winners are chosen by community nomination. Businesses in the River Bend networked with RBGA then submit applications. Those applications are reviewed by a committee, which chooses them based on several factors such as, number of employees, community involvement, innovation and reputation. 

“It’s a very competitive award,” RBGA director of member services, Trish Holmes, said. “The winners are very deserving of the award.”
