A Branson citizen was recognized by the Branson government during Tuesday evening’s Board of Aldermen meeting.
Branson Mayor Larry Milton presented Joe McCullough as the first recipient of the “You've Been Caught” citizen recognition award for the month January. “It is my privilege to announce that the City of Branson's "You've Been Caught" citizen recognition award for January 2022, is going to Joe McCullogh,” Milton said.
According to a post on the City of Branson Government Facebook Page, the award “highlights positive actions by our community members!” The post shows a picture of McCullough. Milton said he was receiving the award because of his initiative.
“Joe is receiving this award because of his "Branson Operation Art Drop" initiative that brings positivity to our community as well as promotes locally made art. This program creates treasure hunts for not only the wood art Joe creates, but also for any local artists to hide art for others to find. This program has brought happiness during a rough time and brought people together who have a shared interest in local art.”
“On behalf of the Mayor, Board of Aldermen, City Administrator, and City staff, it is my honor to announce Joe McCullogh as the City of Branson's January 2022 "You've Been Caught" citizen recognition award,” Milton said.
