Genoa police chief Ty Lynch was clear in his appreciation for the volunteers gathered at his department prior to the Genoa Days parade on June 16.

“Genoa Days is a success every year because of volunteers like you,” he told a group of about 10 sheriff and police department auxiliary members. “We would not be able to have the parade without your help.”

As 200,000 people arrive at the Sandwich Fair this week, DeKalb County Sheriff Roger Scott said members of the DeKalb County Sheriff's Auxiliary are "vitally important" in maintaining traffic control and public safety.
