94.9 WDKB presented this weeks #HometownHero award to:

Steve Bigolin

Thanks to Brian from DeKalb for nominating Steve. He said:

“Stephen Bigolin may not be a hero in the classical sense, but he has been a significant positive influence in our community for a long time now.  And he is certainly worthy of our recognition and thanks.  Steve, by his own efforts, has worked for many many years to research and learn about the history of this place we call home.  DeKalb city especially, but really also, all of our county.

Over time, his dedication to local history has made him perhaps, unofficially, but still really, our DeKalb historian.  And more importantly than his knowledge, is his happiness to share, teach, and tour anyone that wants to learn about local history.

There are many others with an interest in DeKalb County history, but for all of us, it is appropriate to stop, take a moment, and thank Steve for his long standing service to DeKalb and DeKalb County.”
