Dear editor,

It is time to thank many people who worked to make the Mentone Egg Festival a huge success this year. It is a Mentone Chamber of Commerce sponsored event and our board members really stepped up this year and did a great job.

The chamber board members are Karen Francis, Krystal Lybarger, Anna Stiles, Orie Meridith, Cookie Gakstetter, Tim Croy, Niki Norris, Shaun Foltz and Rita Simpson. Each one of our board members had their own events and helped with other activities as well.

A special thanks to Jim and the volunteers in our police department, Josh and the street department, the Four-Way EMS and their volunteers, and our Mentone Fire Department. We are so proud of you.

We thank Aaron Zolman for brining the Backyard BBQ to the Egg Festival. It will be an annual event and got off to a great start this year.

A special thank you goes to Chris and Dustin McClone and their electric crew. Hoffman Body Shop provided a golf cart and Sue Barker did a great job again setting up and taking care of the vendors. So many did so much.

It was a great Egg Festival this year. We thank all of you who came to enjoy it and plans are already underway for next year.

Rita Price Simpson
President of Mentone Chamber of Commerce
