The names of Julia and Jamie Hunt, of Kinuso, were officially added to the Big Lakes County Wall of Fame during the annual barbecue June 26 at the administration grounds in High Prairie. The long-time community volunteers were recognized during the ceremony for their work to make Kinuso and area a better place. The day included a meal of beef-on-a-bun, salads, cupcakes and refreshments. Hundreds attended the lunch. Several Big Lakes County departments also took the opportunity to promote services offered including Big Lakes County Fire Services and the Animal Care Facility, which has cats and dogs ready for adoption. Attendees were also invited to take home a pepper plant.
