The deadline is nearing for nominations for awards for community members who inspire others to move more. Until May 26, nominations are being accepted for the “Movin’ It Award.”
The nominations received so far have been great. Inspiring role models range from friends who encourage friends to run marathons to community members who don’t let illness or injury stop them from moving in whatever manner they can. There are amazing people all around us who are Movin’ It! Send us your stories!
Submit your nominations for a chance to win one of six prizes. A panel from the Cook County News-Herald, Sawtooth Mountain Clinic, and Cook County Senior Center will randomly pick from the entries. In early June, prizes will be awarded in three categories: children, adults, seniors. Each winner will receive a $40 gift certificate to a local business for the nominee and a $20 gift certificate for the nominator! Send nominations of 200 – 300 words to: Cook County News-Herald, PO Box 757, Grand Marais MN 55604, email then to starnews@boreal.org or drop off at the News-Herald office at 15 First Avenue West.
