Wade Washmon was announced as the 2020 Winner of the W.C. Windsor Award. The Windsor recognition has happened each year since its inception in 1952. “Thanks for the heads up guys, I wouldn’t have dressed up like a Cowboy today. Nothing against Cowboys, I do not deserve this award. This is truly the best surprise I have ever received. I’m pretty much at a loss for words. Never, in my wildest imagination would I have thought I would be getting this.” The annual luncheon meeting was held at Green Acres Crosswalk Center at Green Acres Baptist Church.
