Young people from all over Gainesville milled around the Chattahoochee Country Club on Thursday, Feb. 15, anxious to hear who would be named the young man and young woman of the year. It’s an award that has been given by the Gainesville Jaycees to men in Hall County since 1946, and to women since 2001. After a cocktail reception and dinner, the awards were finally handed out to Drew Echols and Bethany Magnus.
