2008 Citizen of the Year Award Banquet

Last night was our 2008 Citizen of the Year Banquet honoring Mr. Harry C. Brown of American Home and Hardware. We had a fantastic crowd of about 160 friends and well wishers there to congratulate Mr. Brown on his success. The highlight of the evening was Mr. Tom Brown presenting the award to his brother. He also told an interesting story of when they were younger and Harry told his siblings that if they planted a cheerio, the next day a donut would sprout.

Mr. Brown was definitely deserving of this great honor for everything he has done for the community over the years. Harry is a past coach and umpire for the Elkton Little League, past member of the Founding Board of Directors of the Cecil Heating Assistance Program, past member of the Board of Directors of the Elkton Chamber of Commerce, serving for 3 years as chairman of the Elkton Halloween parade, past Sunday school teacher, past member and chairman of the Board of Trustees of Leeds United Methodist Church, past member of the Board of Directors for Mount Aviat Academy, past president of the Sunset Point Open Space Maintenance Corporation, past vice-president/c0-owner of American Home Fuels, Inc., and was awarded the Boy Scouts of America Cecil District Distinguished Citizen of the Year award in 1997.

The Elkton Chamber & Alliance is proud to add Mr. Brown to the distinguished list of Citizens of the Year.
