Nominations for 2020 Legend Awards DUE August 1, 2020
The PNHS board voted to not hold the awards luncheon this year with all the unknowns happening at this time. However, we do not want to totally eliminate the Legends program honoring people from our community. For this year only, we will nominate and honor historical Legends from the late 1700’s, 1800’s and early 1900’s. This will be done through our website, using the newsletter and the Legends pages, posting their biographical information and anecdotal memories. The nominations for historical individuals will be extended until August 1st. Any other nominations will be considered for next year, when the process begins again.

Legends of Port Norris
In 2008, the Port Norris Historical Society began a yearly tradition of honoring those who have made a significant impact on our community. Honorees come from three categories: 19th Century, 20th Century, and Living Legends. Be they business owners, community leaders, or simply great citizens, they represent what is great about Port Norris.

Legends Annual Program
Those who are chosen as a legend will be honored at awards ceremony.
A close friend or family member if available will be asked to present a oral casual presentation of that legend. Legends will be presented a plaque. The ceremony will be recorded for everyone to enjoy.
In addition to continuing to preserve the history and keep it current for today the awards ceremony is our primary fund-raiser for the year. We appreciate all who can attend.
If you have someone from the past or living who meet the criteria of a Port Norris Legend, download the form and let us know. Each May the members of the Port Norris Historical Society, review and nominate and vote for the next years legends.
