The Fort Fairfield Chamber of Commerce recently
recognized their 2009 Citizen of the Year and Business of the
Year.

This year’s Citizen of the Year honoree is an individual
that exemplifies the meaning of this award – Giving of oneself
with no expectation of anything in return.

Have you found your driveway plowed or a bag of
potatoes at your door that you didn’t expect? If you don’t have
a garage to work in many nights you will see someone in his
garage working on their personal vehicle. This gentleman has
given back in many ways; yes, some during a time of tragedy,
but most is given year round with nothing expected in return.

Our 2009 Citizen of the Year is Keith Thibeau. Keith
is a lifelong resident of Fort Fairfield, and is a 4th generation
farmer, and has been farming for the past 22 years and employs
between 15 & 20 employees. He is an active member and on
the Board of Directors for the Fort Fairfield Snowmobile Club
and is the proud father of 2 boys, Conner and Keith, Jr.
