Saint Jo resident Camille Crist was named citizen of the year during the Saint Jo Chamber of Commerce banquet on Tuesday.

Julie Whitehead made the presentation to Crist, calling her a champion for revitalizing the newly renamed Chisholm Trail Square.

“All along she wanted to come back here to retire,” Whitehead said of Crist.

She is responsible for planting flowers all around the square, which has helped beautify the downtown area.

Read about all the award winners in the weekend News, and watch the mid-week edition for additional photos from the banquet.
