Butler County’s unsung heroes are about to receive some well-deserved recognition.

With the help of Butler County’s 10 Rotary Clubs, the 2024 Can-Am Police-Fire Games, Salute Home Loans and the Butler Eagle, Butler County’s first responders will be honored at a Hometown Hero Awards dinner Sept. 30 at Tesla BioHealing & MedBed Center on Route 8.

Individual clubs will be announcing their honorees selected from nominations submitted by family, friends and the public. The top three will be honored with awards at the dinner.

Tickets for the event cost $52 and are available by visiting visitbutlercounty.com/hhc.
