Partnering with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Collin County Commissioners Court and Historical Commission will host their third annual “Preservation Celebration & Awards Ceremony: A Gold Ribbon Event” on Saturday, May 2nd, at the Frisco Heritage Center.

Though the Preservation Celebration is an invitation-only event, we are inviting anyone in or outside Collin County to participate now in the celebration of excellence in historic preservation by nominating those individuals and organizations you believe are most deserving of an award.

To nominate someone for one of this year’s historic preservation or education awards, please go to the 2009 Preservation Celebration Awards criteria and nomination form. Help us honor and recognize the deserving individuals, organizations, businesses and agencies that have enriched our lives and communities through historic tourism programs, historic preservation projects, and/or historical education. Please complete one form per nominee. Nominations are due by Wednesday, April 22nd. Mail the completed form to: Collin County Historical Commission, Awards Committee, c/o Larry Collins, 281 Farms Road, McKinney, Texas, 75071, or e-mail to lcollins@ccccd.edu.

Please note that all awardees and nominees will be honored and recognized at the event, as each and every one is truly deserving of recognition. Participation in the nominations process is vital to the important business of promoting the socioeconomic benefits of preservation and to continue documenting and preserving our county’s unique historical assets for the benefit of all our citizens.
