Nominations open for Rock County Hall of Fame

Rock County Board Chair Russ Podzilni announced that nominations are still being received for the Rock County Hall of Honor.

At that time a Rock County Hall of Honor was established to recognize Rock County people, past and present, who have made significant contributions to the county and its people. Inductees have included a number of distinguished Rock County citizens. The 2016 inductees were Burdette Erickson, Dean Paynter and William Wartmann.
