State Representative Kevin Mahan and Mayor Wayne Seybold both read proclamations, Michelle Bunker, President of the Marion Grant County Chamber of Commerce read a letter she had composed congratulating Miller’s on their strides in the community and to the Chamber of Commerce. It was wonderful to see the residents’, staff, family members, and community take part in this year’s celebration.
