Awards dinner

The Batavia Chamber of Commerce will honor the Petersons at its annual awards dinner on Jan. 28. Executive Director Roger Breisch said the couple was an obvious choice.

“Batavia would be far more desolate had Bob and Sue not nurtured its growth with such love and devotion,” he said.

For details on attending the award dinner, call the chamber of commerce at (630) 879-7134 or visit www.bataviachamber.org.

Is either awards dinner or award dinner wrong? Yes and no - but it certainly is a good example of poor writing (and, possibly, bad reporting)! If the annual dinner was held to distribute several awards to different people and groups, then I would have used "award s " in both instances.
