Princeton honors veterans, presents Golden Key Award to Guy Langston
Summary
At the Nov. 3 meeting the mayor delivered extended remarks honoring veterans; the board presented the 2025 Princeton Golden Key Award to Guy Langston for decades of service as Santa at town events and recognized April Williamson and Major Daniel Toole for 10 years of town service.
The Town of Princeton Board of Commissioners used its Nov. 3 meeting to honor veterans and recognize long-serving local employees.
Mayor (unnamed) opened the meeting with an extended tribute to veterans, saying the town honors “every man and woman who has ever worn the uniform of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard” and urging residents to convert gratitude into support for returning service members. The mayor closed the remarks with a moment of silence.
The board presented the 2025 Princeton Golden Key Award — established in 2010 to recognize sustained community service — to Guy Langston, who has performed as Santa Claus at Princeton events for more than 25 years. The mayor noted Langston’s veteran status and his long tenure as owner of Triangle Service Station before retirement. Langston accepted the award and posed for photos.
TA King also recognized two municipal employees for 10 years of service: April Williamson, town clerk, and Major Daniel Toole of the Princeton Police Department. Both were thanked for their contributions to town operations and public safety.
What this means: The recognitions are ceremonial acknowledgments of civic service. The transcript records the statements, presentations, and a certificate presentation; no formal policy actions or budgetary measures were tied to the honors.
