Snow Shoveling Heroes Recognized at The Golden Shovel Awards

Now with warmer weather, it is easy to forget that a few months ago we were grappling with the epic 2016 blizzard. Eighteen residents who used snow shovels, along with their hearts, to help their neighbors during the harsh winter of 2015-16 were recognized with a Golden Shovel award.

Initiated by County Council President Nancy Floreen, the Golden Shovel awards program, each year acknowledges residents who reach out to give assistance to neighbors by shoveling walkways and driveways after a snowfall.
