Man of the year
The owner of McCray’s Backyard BBQ, Derrick McCray, received a special honor.

“I want to thank God for blessing me with two great parents,” said McCray. “Everything I do is a testament to them, their integrity and their love for the community.”
A number of local dignitaries including Dan Callaway attended the event.
