The Walnut Hill Volunteer Fire Department honored members of the community and the department during their 49th annual fish fry Saturday.
Arthur Levins was named Firefighter of the Year, an award chosen by his fellow firefighters, Gerry Steege was named Officer of the Year and recognized for his service to the department. Northview High School agriculture teacher and FFA sponsor Perry Byars received the Walnut Hill Volunteer Fire Department’s Community Service Award for outstanding and dedicated service to the community.
Well over 600 people enjoyed fried and grilled catfish or grilled chicken plates during the event, with proceeds to be used to provide assistance to displaced fire victims in the area.
