HONORING HOMETOWN HEROES
On September 11th, first responders from area counties gathered to be honored as our Hometown Heroes. A banquet was held at the Swansboro Rotary Civic Center with food provided by Golden Corral. Awards were given to more than 20 recipients and our fallen were remembered.
Below are a few moments from this incredible event. Thank you for the honor of capturing these moments.
