CONGRATULATIONS

     The Boone City Council has approved the selection of Daryl Kruse of Boone as the winner of the distinguished community award presented each year as part of the opening festivities at Pufferbilly Days.
     Honorees are individuals who have been consistent contributors, in various ways, to the Boone community.
     Daryl was a long time employee of the city of Boone, has spent many years guiding young people as a Little League coach and has served the community in many other ways.
     Earlier, it was announced that Jim Turbes of KWBG radio in Boone would serve as the Pufferbilly Days parade grand marshal.
     These were two excellent choices for these prestigious honors. Congratulations to both.
