We will continue to work together, as we always do, to rally votes,” said Melissa Barth, executive director Spearfish Area Chamber of Commerce.

The Small Business Revolution is a television show powered by Deluxe Corporation. Their mission is to “tell stories of America’s most inspiring small businesses, using photography, film and written word.”
A single community will be featured in Season 5 of the show streamed on Hulu & Amazon Prime. The $500,000 will be directly invested in the 6-7 featured business with resources for a makeover, marketing assistance, and to offer business education. The featured businesses nominate themselves and will be chosen by Deluxe Corporation.
Amanda Brinkman and Ty Pennington made the Top 5 announcement through Facebook Live video at 4:45 a.m. on January 14th. Voting opened later that morning.
“Making it to the Top 5 of Small Business Revolution is another great example of Spearfish’s renowned teamwork, and an amazing opportunity for us to share the Spearfish story with the rest of the nation. Winning top honors is going to take a real grassroots effort from the entire community,” said Kory Menken, executive director Spearfish Economic Development Corporation.
