Great contributors to our community. Thank you all and Congratulations!

Seems like it would be a good year to give it to all the people of PG, and especially the local businesses donating time, efforts.. during the evacuations. Just doesn’t seem right to give it to an individual considering the people who came together this year.

Lol, the World Baseball Challenge was a “major sporting event”…
