The Annual Arts Council's awarding of arts grants and youth scholarship awards took place earlier this evening (Friday) at 31 S. Main St. in Perry at the ACWC Gallery. The Silver Lake Institute (SLI) was one of those recipients and their annual award "is used to promote variety and quality in the SLI seasonal summer program," said Frederick Schuknecht, who along with Rev. Greg Franklin represented the Program Committee of SLI as he accepted the check from Kathryn Hollinger, Grant Coordinator, and A. Douglas Berwanger, representing the Wyoming County Board of Supervisors, Chairman.
