Honoring Fredonia hero and U.S. Olympian Jenn Suhr on Saturday made perfect sense. The event took place at the annual Red, White and Blues Festival.

Around 2 p.m., a crowd gathered to show its support for the village native on a picture-perfect day. Suhr and husband, Rick, offered their appreciation.

“This is not something you find everywhere, so thank you,” she said. ” … I have never seen the support … like you have shown me.”

Credit for the happening goes to the Fredonia Olympic Celebration Committee and Julie Essek, who was one of many that led a drive when Suhr became an Olympian to sell T-shirts and lawn signs that populated local lawns.

In addition, a monument to her achievements stands proudly in Barker Common stating: Jenn Suhr, Olympic Gold Medalist, World Record Holder, Presented by the Fredonia Olympic Celebration Committee.

It was, without question, one more golden moment.
