WOLF LAKE — According to organizers, Jack and Mary Metzger repeatedly turned down the honor of being grand marshals at the Wolf Lake Onion Days Festival in years past.
ALBION â On a day when the Albion Rotary Club announced a back-to-normal meeting schedule, it chose to honor someone in the community who does so much more than normal.
Albion Rotarian Joy LeCount introduced Jason Brown, 43, as the clubâs Citizen of the Year during Thursdayâs luncheon gathering at the Albion Pizza Depot.
âI was surprised,â Brown said. âI was shocked. It feels awesome.â
LeCount had invited Brown to speak at Thursdayâs meeting under the guise of a program involving Brownâs work with the Indiana Deaf Camp. Brown and LeCount did do that program â and it was a big reason LeCount said Brown was deserving of the honor.
