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.

Nocona volunteer firefighters diligently continue their efforts to get a truck fully geared up for their newest fire station at Lake Nocona with hopes it could be ready to roll early in the new year.
At a recent rural fire department monthly meeting members were working on the truck and sorting miles of fire hose that will go on Engine 331. The Eagle Point Fire Station is located on the west side of Lake Nocona and has been a work in progress for a little more than two years by the city and rural Nocona firefighters. The departments each station in downtown Nocona, and the rural department has a building with a brush truck at Spanish Fort.
Billy Henley, rural chief and volunteer firefighter for more than 50 years, said their efforts to expand service began about in 2020 and 2021 after the Nocona Lake Estates Fire Department disbanded.
