The crowd at the Tyler Tonight Show rose to their feet Friday night as Paul Bartz was honored as Tyler Citizen of the Year, kicking off the 2010 Æbleskiver Days.
In a speech given by Don Buhl on behalf of Bartz, he said he was honored by the recognition and appreciates the community’s support.
Employer of the Year Wally Dybdahl accepted the honor for the second time in five years, later hosting an open house at his business, Tyler Electric.
Jeanne Blomgren was honored as Volunteer of the Year for all the work she does in the community.
Mona Christianson was recognized as Employee of the Year for the work she does at at the Tyler Dental Clinic.
Æbleskiver Days rolled on throughout the weekend with events ranging from an eating contest to Danish dancing and just about everything in between.
The weekend concluded Sunday with a dinner hosted by the Tyler Kiwanis Club with a silent auction benefiting the Lincoln County Veterans Honor Flight.
