This week’s winner of the Silver Fern Farms Local Legend prize is Sharon McKinnel, of Balclutha.

Sharon was nominated for teaching, and helping people in the community, from her work as a physio to giving swimming lessons to those who may need it.

She sticks her neck out for others and is always helping when she is able to.

Her nominator said she had been a blessing to them for more than six years and was "grateful" to her.

Congratulations to Sharon, and a reminder to send in the names of your nominees, their contact details and why they deserve the prize to evelyn.thorn@alliedpress.co.nz and they may be in to win.
