LISBON – Jules of Life will celebrate the St. Lawrence County Heroes of the Year Thursday, Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. at Lisbon Central School.

Among those to be honored are Dr. Joseph Kennedy, president of SUNY Canton, Ogdensburg Mayor Bill Nelson, Michael and Amy Robinson (managers of the Lisbon Food Pantry), coordinator of the county’s Toys for Tots program Raymond Cutway, and Tim Dempsey, Potsdam native who donated a dream vacation to dying cancer patient Ridge Thorbahn.
