We open nominations for this year's T-J Star

12/1/2022

Another year almost gone—where, we’re not sure.
But that means it’s time for a favorite December tradition, launching our search for the next Times-Journal Star.
2023 will mark the 31st year for the award, begun in 1992 to recognize someone who’s positively impacted the community, especially over the past year.
The list of past T-J Stars is diverse, representing agriculture, history, the arts, economic development, flood recovery, and a world-wide pandemic.
Tell us who you think deserves the honor this year.
Deadline for nominations is 5pm, Wednesday, December 21, and they can be made in a variety of ways.
• Email them to tjournalnews@yahoo.com and put TJ Star in the subject line.
• By phone, (518) 234-2515.
• By fax, (518) 234-7898.
• By mail, PO Box 339, Cobleskill, NY 12043.
Nominations should include the name of the person being nominated and why he or she deserves to be the next T-J Star.
We also need the name of the person doing the nominating as well as their contact information in case we have questions or want more information.
