SAMMY HAGAR To Be Honored With Milley Award
July 28, 2011, 13 years ago
According to MillValleyPatch, SAMMY HAGAR (CHICKENFOOT, ex-VAN HALEN, MONTROSE), the longtime Mill Valley, California resident whose 40-year career has spanned multiple bands and a slew of successful business ventures, is among the seven locals picked to receive 2011 Milley Awards.
The Milleys - being presented at an October 23rd ceremony - were created by Abby Wasserman in 1988 to honor one local person a year for their creative achievements. By 1995, the Art Commission realized that Mill Valley suffered from an overwhelming abundance of great artists, and expanded the event to include five recipients.
What began as a paper certificate awarded during a break in City Council proceedings has evolved into a full-fledged gala with winners receiving a bronze statuette crafted by Sausalito sculptor John Libberton. Author and former San Francisco Chronicle columnist Joel Selvin will serve as the host of this year’s event.
