“It is an honor for our General Assembly to recognize these worthy recipients for their Ovation Awards,” said Sen. Yager, who sponsored the resolution. “Highland Manor is the oldest winery in Tennessee. They are an exemplary business who brings tourists to our community due to their deeply rooted commitment to their customers. I congratulate Gertie and Butch Campbell for this award.”
“Guy and Claudine Pinckley have made a significant educational impact on Fentress County,” he added. “Their generosity has contributed to many students in our area achieving educational excellence. They are very deserving of this recognition as the “Best Corporate Citizens.”
