The Panora Chamber of Commerce welcomed five businesses to their fold with ribbon cuttings on Friday.

Lovell Photography, Controlled Environments and The News Gazette all held their ribbon cuttings at the gazebo in the city square. Lovell Photography is a new business to Panora, with the owners having moved into the city within the last year, while Controlled Environments has been in operation for 20 years, and decided to join the Chamber this year. The News Gazette is also a long standing business out of Bayard, and regularly covers news from around Guthrie County. Later in the afternoon, Panorama Gardens and Leonardo Auto both held ribbon cuttings as well.
