On Saturday (Feb. 18) the Battle Ground Citizen of the Year Committee announced that Kendra Laratta has been named the 2022 Battle Ground Citizen of the Year.
There were many nominations for the 2022 Battle Ground Citizen of the Year. The committee thanks everyone who took the time to make a nomination.
“We reviewed each one carefully – each person deserves to win,’’ read a statement from Bev Jones, committee point person. “The committee has chosen the person who has made such a huge impact on so much of Battle Ground. She is often behind the scenes volunteering, but many will recognize her for her role as a key player in Battle Ground festivals – bringing us the amazing Harvest Days last summer, Halloween on Main Street and recently the Holiday Window Decorating Contest. The committee is happy to announce the Battle Ground Citizen of the Year for 2022 is Kendra Laratta!’’
The committee invites members of the public to a reception to celebrate with Laratta on March 1, from 5:30-6:30 p.m. at the Battle Ground Library Meyer Community Room and/or at Northwood Public House and Brewery starting at 6:30 p.m.
“We also invite you to attend the Annual Citizen Of the Year Royal Rosarian Honorary Rose Ceremony in Central Park before the annual Harvest Days Parade in mid-July,’’ Jones said. “It is such a special ceremony we hope you can join us then. Thank you all for making Battle Ground the wonderful community it is.’’
