Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Officer Chad Albritton has been named the 2017 recipient of the Perry Rotary Club’s “Our Hero Award.” Albritton received the award — and a standing ovation — Friday evening at the Perry-Taylor County Chamber of Commerce Banquet.

Nominated by FWC Lt. Michael Guy, Albritton was recognized for his relief efforts in Texas following Hurricane Harvey, as well as his response to a stranded motorist in Taylor County.
