Meet Eric Bullen, 2026 Outstanding Citizen

Each year, it is tradition for Albertville Friendly City Days to recognize a person, group or couple that stand out as exceptional residents. The 2026 Outstanding Citizens is Fire Chief Eric Bullen. He has served as the city’ s first full-time fire chief since he was sworn in in 2017.
He is set to retire in August. See him honored on Thursday, June 11, at the beer garden. Music from Prairie Smoke Road will pause at 8 p. m., and Albertville Friendly City Days organizers will recognize Bullen as the Outstanding Citizen.
