Nearly 160 people packed the halls of VFW Post 1371 in Owego Saturday night.
14 people were rewarded for their stellar community service with a roast beef dinner, cake, certificate, and plaque. Members of the VFW went around to various organizations and schools in Tioga County to select the recipients. Sponsors were asked to keep the event a secret from the honorees.
Honorees included teachers, students from Waverly, Owego, Tioga Center, and volunteers who sent care packages overseas to troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.
