VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH Long overdue to highlight as volunteer of the month, Tony has been behind the scenes of the Plaza District for the last seven years. He’s the dad of Plaza director Kristen Vails and has thanklessly constructed equipment for events, hauled trash, and moved loads of supplies from place to place, Tony has put countless hours into the district. Events, literally couldn’t have happened without him in those first few years. Thank you Tony!
