OSAWATOMIE â Dr. Sarah Dorsett was playing in the Band of Oz before the mayorâs tree lighting ceremony when she heard someone call her name.
That someone was Kari Bradley, executive director of the Osawatomie Chamber of Commerce, who told the gathering that Dorsett is the 2020 Citizen/Volunteer of the Year.
The announcement came in front of City Hall near the end of the communityâs Miracle on Main Street holiday celebration Saturday, Dec. 5. Dorsett emerged from the band and hurried across the street to help Mayor Mark Govea with the countdown to flip on the Christmas tree lights.
âI was right there with the Band of Oz when I heard,â said a surprised Dorsett. âI am very honored and thankful.â
