“This award signifies the recognition of our hard work to establish an identity for the City,” said President and CEO of the Wichita Falls Chamber of Commerce and Industry Tim Chase. “Through the Pride in the Falls campaign, our goal is to give current and future residents a reason to work, live and become a part of Wichita Falls, and we could not be happier about the acknowledgment the campaign is receiving. There truly is pride in the falls, and Texas is learning all about it.”
