MTG members participated in the Milford Frontier Days Parade on June 3^rd. We had the largest group that ever participated in the event. It’s a chance for us to get out into the community and get some much needed exposure. The event was shown live on ICRC, then shown again in rebroadcasts. A big thank you goes out to the members that marched in the parade: Charles Russell, Annie King, Lori Rensing, Martha Tillson, Ryan Vaughan, the Listo sisters, the Roll, Bird, Robbins, Haskamp, Luthman, Minney, and Ashworth families. One Last Look… Let’s hope that our shows for the 2004-2005 season will be as great! Watch for announcements about our next season.
