🏆How did The Ollies get its name?

In 1991, WIN-TV volunteer Chris Conroy asked Station Manager Mardi Dipero if he could put together a volunteer recognition award ceremony. With her go-ahead, Chris — a gifted writer, videographer, and editor — created The Ollie Award.

The award was named in honor of Oliver Ellsworth, one of Windsor’s most prominent citizens. Ellsworth helped draft the U.S. Constitution, served as a United States Senator from Connecticut, and became the third Chief Justice of the United States. Most importantly, he loved Windsor and the people who lived here ❤️.

The Ollies remain a night of recognition, community, and celebration — and we can’t wait to share this year’s ceremony with you!

The first Ollie Award ceremony took place on January 24, 1992 and recognized not only volunteers from the 1991 year, but also celebrated WIN-TV’s 10 year anniversary. The ceremony was held in the Cafeteria (now called the Senior Center) at LP Wilson Community Center.

Join us on Saturday, October 18 for this WIN-TV special event to raise money to continue our mission of community media and education as well as recognizing the people and organizations that support our mission.
