JERRY TRUDEAU AWARD
Volunteer/Contributor to the Festival
In 1997, the Bourbonnais Friendship Festival presented the
first Jerry Trudeau Volunteer of the Year award to none
other than Jerry Trudeau.
The award was developed to honor volunteers of the
Bourbonnais Friendship Festival. The intent is to honor
hard- working volunteers who sacrifice their time and
energy to ensure that a successful Festival takes
place each year.
It is meant to honor those who otherwise go without
recognition, and frequently prefer to remain in the
background.
