Shawn Hearn of Piggott has been selected as the Times-Democrat Citizen of the Week. Hearn, originally from Blytheville, has been very active in the community since relocating to Piggott several years ago. Willing to dedicate long hours working behind the scenes, while also at ease with duties which put him up front at a moment's notice, Hearn is a familiar face at nearly all benefit and fundraiser events.

As the head baseball coach and an assistant football coach at Piggott High School, Hearn's caring and outgoing nature has made him a favorite among students, parents and fellow faculty members.
