CORINTH - Several individuals were singled out for honors
on Tuesday during the Alliance annual meeting before the
evening's special guest made his presentation.
Senior Judge Neal Biggers, of the U.S. District Court's
Northern District of Mississippi, was invited back to his
Corinth hometown to offer his perspective on the relationship
between economic development and the legal system.
The award for Volunteer of the Year, recognized by the Corinth
Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, was presented to Zack
Steen.
CACVB Executive Director Kristy White and 2009-2010 Chairman
Chris Porterfield said Steen deserved the award for his
work on the Arts/Culture Committee, dedication as a founding
member of the successful Corinth Green Market, work with
the Crossroads Festival and Chili Cook-Off and ongoing support
of projects like next weekend's Grand Illumination. Full
