ROSEVILLE – Denio’s Roseville Farmers Market & Swap Meet announced today that employees Marisa Mollera, Joshuah Kerby and Jessica Decoque have been named the recipients of the 2011 Denio’s Scholarship.

The education award is given annually to young employees who are excelling in the classroom, show initiative while working at Denio’s, and have also been active in community service. All three employees received a $1,000 scholarship from Denio’s to help offset the costs of college.

All three teens have been employed by Denio’s for over a year and work in food service.

“What I loved about all three of these young people is they are extremely hard workers that are always eager to take on new job responsibilities and accept new challenges,” said Ken Denio, Owner of Denio’s Farmers Market & Swap Meet.
