The Buffalo County Historical Society’s (BCHS) 2020 Annual Meeting, normally held in April, was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but good deeds should still be honored and the awards committee met virtually this year. BCHS recently announced the winner of the Eighth Annual Volunteer of the Year Award, which went to Janice Martin, of rural Gibbon.
