Sarah Eggert named 2026 Northport Citizen of the Year

Sarah Eggert, owner of the Pennington Collection in Northport, is the 2026 Citizen of the Year.

The council voted unanimously last week to approve a resolution designating Eggert as Northport Citizen of the Year, which recognizes deserving nominees that have demonstrated “exemplary dedication, public spirit, and service to the community.”

Aside from operating her store in downtown Northport for the last 20 years, Eggert wears many hats in the community, including serving as the Northport Dog Parade board president for the last seven years.
