McLean County Museum of History announces this year's History Makers
BLOOMINGTON, Ill. (WMBD) — The McLean County Museum of History announced its winners for the next class of history makers.
Every year, the History Makers Gala recognizes McLean County residents who have made lifelong contributions to McLean County.
This year, they're honoring Sally Rudolph, who served on the McLean County Zoning Board of Appeals for 25 years, former president of the McLean County Chamber of Commerce Robert Fazzini and father Douglas Hennessy, who's had a large presence in the county for the past 50 years.
Fazzini said it's a massive honor to be thought of as someone who's made history in McLean County.
'I didn't do that for that reason. I did that because it was the right thing to do, and it was helping make this place what it is and to be recognized as somebody who's helped do that. And that's pretty damn special,' said Fazzini.
The History Makers Gala will be held on June 18th at Illinois State University's Brown Ballroom.
