The Boone County Historical Society hosted their Hall of Fame Gala, where they annually induct one prominent business, one individual and bestow a post-humous induction upon a late, influential Columbian. This year, dance instructor Halcyone Perlman was inducted into the Hall of Fame, along with Central Bank and the late Dr. Roland and Ruth Wiggins. Dr. Roland Wiggins was a cardiologist at Boone County Hospital and Ruth made history as Hickman’s first black educator. Auction items at the gala included a wine tasting and a week-long vacation to Georgia.
