The 2018 Carroll Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year, Ed Smith, received his award via a digital connection last year as he was traveling for the birth of his grandchild at that time. He says if Monday night’s annual banquet had been scheduled one week later, he would have been on the road for the second year in a row. However, he says it was great to be there live to present the award to this year’s recipient. Smith detailed how this year’s winner has spent their entire life working at making Carroll a better place to live.
Smith joked he read this person had at one time been mistaken for a Mormon missionary in Florida. The dead giveaway on their identity was when Smith pointed out the winner had written about the experience.
