The 41st West Virginia Molasses Festival at Arnoldsburg is history, but organizers took time Sunday to recognize area folks who helped with the event.

Special recognition was given to three of the many volunteers.

"Volunteerism is not a high paying job," said Linda McCartney of West Fork Community Action who presented the awards during the annual recognition dinner.

The community service awards went to Dawn Burris, Jan Hastewell and Karen Altizer.
