Hundreds gathered at the Washington County Fairgrounds Saturday for the 16th Annual “Celebrate our Seniors” program.

Four local senior citizens were recognized for their contributions to Washington County communities.  This year’s honorees were Ivenus Garcia, Esther Mae Hall, Lottie V. Hall, and Robert Mae Johnson.  Each honoree was given a plaque to commemorate their service.
