"It's our annual time of the year to honor those who serve us each and every day in the law enforcement community, as paramedics, and firefighters," explained Meredith Caddell, as she spoke about Friday night's Law Enforcement Appreciation Dinner. "We at the Chamber of Commerce just want to recognize all of those who keep us safe and sometimes put their lives on the line, to protect us!"

The Chamber of Commerce hosted this year's dinner in the Hopkins County Regional Civic Center and recognized all of the many individuals who are members of the Sulphur Springs Police Department, Hopkins County Sheriff's Department, Department of Public Safety, Cumby Police Department, Hopkins County EMS, and and the Hopkins County Fire Department.
