Voting is open for the Hoisington Citizen of the Year award. The nine
nominees were announced last week and now any Hoisington resident can place
their one vote online. Hoisington Chamber of Commerce Director Karen Baldyga said the nominees represent the quality of people the town
offers.
"It's not just about being great at your job, but actually about going above and beyond within the community," said Baldyga. "That includes your church, some are coaches, they've helped with the Labor Day Celebration or other types of community events."
Online voting will continue until Feb. 8 at 12 p.m. The 2022
Citizen of the year will be announced at the Chamber Banquet on Feb. 11.
Tim Boxberger won the award last year.
