Golden Kernel Award
Is there a person you know that has gone above and beyond the call of duty as a citizen of North Ridgeville? Is there someone involved in several different organizations making the city a better place to live? If so, the North Ridgeville Corn Festival Committee would like to recognize them! The Committee is looking for nominations for the annual Golden Kernel award. Started in 1982, this award is presented to North Ridgeville residents that have improved the community and made it a better place to live. Nominations will be reviewed by the North Ridgeville Corn Festival Committee and the winners will be announced on Friday, August 7th, 2009 at the North Ridgeville Corn Festival Opening Ceremonies.
