Delano’s 2020 Business of t he Year HARWOOD’S BODY SHOP Six years after moving to Delano and purchasing Janzen’s Auto Body, Harwood’s Body Shop has been named the Business of the Year by the Delano Area Chamber of Commerce. The award was announced at the DACC gen- eral meeting Thursday and will be presented at the DACC Celebration Dinner Saturday, April 4, at the Delano American Legion. Two different nominators had a lot to say about the business. “I would nominate them because they provide outstanding service to the community, you are al- ways greeted with a smile, and they give you fair and honest assessments for your vehicle, and per- form high quality work,” one nominator wrote.

Both nominators mentioned that the business is ex- panding to an adjacent property. Both nominators noted that Harwood’s employ- ees are active in the community, including with the Chamber.
