Ryan Golden of Findlay, Ohio, accepted the A.C. Burcky Award as senior male athlete of the year, while Brittany Huff of Union, Ohio, won the Kathryn E. Little Award as outstanding senior female athlete.
Ed Yeager was named Bluffton Family Recreation volunteer of the year earlier this month, according to Daniel Tinch, BFR executive director.
“Ed has helped in several area in the past year,” said Tinch. “His volunteer work includes countless hours working with BFR’s finances and helping wherever he is needed.”
This is the first-ever presentation of a BFR volunteer of the year award. Tinch said that he intends to make in an annual presentation.
