On Thursday, November 4, 2021, City of Ferndale employees, volunteers, and community members were honored at the Ferndale Elks awards banquet.

"Law and Order Night" is a longstanding annual event by the Ferndale Elks Lodge #1588 in which the organization recognizes and thanks staff and volunteers for their distinguished service to the City of Ferndale. People are recognized in six categories:

• Law enforcement employee of the year
• Fire-rescue employee of the year
• Public Works (DPW) employee of the year
• 43rd District Court employee of the year
• City Hall employee of the year
• Senior Citizen of the year
• Volunteer of the year

Additionally this year, representatives from the Downtown Development Authority presented Elks members with the 2021 Feel the Pride Award for their festive window decoration/display during the city's June Pride celebration.

The City wants to congratulate all of this year's honorees and thank the Ferndale Elks for hosting such an incredible dinner and celebration.
