The Governor's Awards for the Arts ceremony will be a homecoming for York County natives Jeff Koons and Del McCoury.
At the April 8 ceremony, the visual artist and bluegrass artist will stand on York's Strand-Capitol Performing Arts Center stage next to two other recipients who have never left -- Patron Award winners Louis J. Appell and Arthur Glatfelter.
A host site honoring four of its own is unprecedented in the history of the statewide awards, Judge Marjorie Rendell said Wednesday. She and her husband, Gov. Ed Rendell, will serve as emcees for the event.
York countians rose to the top of the nearly 70 nominations for individuals and organizations received by The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. Other winners include Caroline Nunan of Lancaster and the Ridgway Chainsaw Carvers Rendezvous from Elk County.
