Walt Horylev is all smiles after receiving the 2019 Hilton Citizen of the Year award from Mayor Joe Lee at the March meeting of the Hilton Village Board.
Horylev, who was a Westside News free lance photographer and contributor for 17 years, is the 38th recipient of this award that was created by former Hilton Mayor Larry Gursslin in 1982.
The award reads:
