Wilkes Hall Of Fame Taking Nominations

In November, Chris Skabo, Director of Athletics and Healthful Living for the Wilkes County Schools, announced the establishment of the Wilkes County Hall of Fame (WCHofF) to the Wilkes County Schools Board of Education. Applications for the WCHofF’s first class of nominees are currently being accepted and the nominations will end March 14, 2014. The Wilkes County Hall of Fame was created to recognize citizens and corporations that have made invaluable contributions to Wilkes County and the world beyond.
