As Barton County celebrates 170 years, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the people who embody the heart and soul of our community. These nominations are a chance to honor those who go above and beyond — whether through volunteer work, leadership, or making a lasting impact in areas like education, business, or public service. Together, we can highlight the people and moments that truly define the spirit of our community.
