Jenny Haskell/IN State Fair Remembrance Day

Superstars, $120 was raised in memory of Jenny Haskell.  A lion's share of these contributions came from Middletown, but we appreciate EVERYONE'S involvement.  Jenny is the niece of our Middletown Store Manager, Teresa, and tragically, she was a victim of the State Fair Collapse.  If there are any additional donations, please send them up as soon as possible.  

This was a truly touching tribute for a wonderful girl.  Thank you.

Congratulations to Jordan Cox and Ashlee Shupperd, our newest graduates of the Management Pre-Requisite Courses!
