Person of the Year at WDH

Do You Know a Deserving Person?

I do not know if they do this yearly, but my good buddy (and Lil Wayne enthusiast) Rob Mentzer sent me this link.  The Editorial Board over at the WDH is looking to award someone, anyone, ANYONE…a person of the year title.  All you need to do is nominate them.

I think you need to go through a few channels described in this link, but I think it would be fun for the Citizen Wausau community to engage this process.  I suppose you could nominate someone here as well, though I am not going to pass it along just in case that invalidates the votes.

So again, the Wausau Daily Herald has opened up the process to all of us, so let us jump in and make our voices heard.

    What an original idea! Too bad City Pages didn’t think of it LAST YEAR!

    Did they? I had no idea. If they do it again this year, I am sure someone from The City Pages might let someone from Citizen Wausau know, so we can post something about it here.

    It was not a voting selection, it was chosen by staff. He was on the cover our our last issue for 2007. It was Jeff Campos, the guy who pretty much single handedly (?) started the renovation of the Pavilion a couple of years ago. He volunteered to do some painting and then got others to volunteer, which lead to a community chipping in to restore the historical pavilion. Good choice.

    I think it is very hard to choose a winner for such an honor - there are so many people who work hard - especially for non-profit groups in this area.

    Here’s an idea - I think Citizen Wausau should chose
    “Sexiest Man” and “Sexiest Women” in Central Wisconsin!
