Dave Beachy presented the Cliff Moomaw award to Jerry Jacobson.

Beachy shared stories about and joked with Jacobson before calling him up to present his award.
Jacobson was moved and shared that his favorite movie of all time was The Wizard of Oz and he felt it was so fitting to see a scene performed as the entertainment by members of the Garaway Drama Department earlier in the evening.
He spoke about his personal yellow brick road and the Emerald City he hopes to build as his roundhouse comes to life just south of Sugarcreek. Click for more about celebrating Sugarcreek's leaders-past and present by Beverly Keller local Edition Editor, Budget - Sugarcreek,
