“The award committee of past Bell Tower Festival chairs also reviews past nominations each year, so if a person has received additional honors or recognition since being nominated, the nominator should fill out a new form and re-submit the nomination,” explained Carole Custer, Bell Tower of Fame Award chair. “Our county should be proud of the number of accomplished people across the nation who have Greene County roots,” she said.
