The following educators have been nominated for this year’s award:

Wilks fund for 2014.

Colonial Dinner Series engages community

It’s an exciting time in Butler County. The City of Hamilton is energized with urban development, the Gateway project is underway, and small businesses are starting to gravitate towards Hamilton. Some of the finest hospitals and doctors in the state are in Butler County. We have authors, we have excellent high schools (and talented kids that attend them).

The Colonial Dinner Series, which starts in September and goes through May, is a great way to engage with our community and enhance your physical, social and spiritual well-being. This year, speakers range from city officials and business professionals to doctors and authors—and of course, Hamilton High School’s Rhapsody In Blue will perform once again….
