Last month the new
owners of the Hickmann
IGA grocery store were
celebrated with a ribbon
cutting and presentation of
the first dollar.
Due to the pandemic
and other unforeseen
circumstances Perry
businesses have not seen
a ribbon cutting for the
past couple of years. This
celebratory event for the
local businesses comes
along side the swearing in
of the new Perry Chamber
of Commerce board
members which will take
place next week. In the
upcoming swearing in
Michele Keil will take over
as acting president while
Kathleen Barnett will take
over as vice president.
Kayla Stevener will become
Secretary and Brooke
Evans will be sworn in as
treasurer.
Michele Keil was sure
to thank all the Chamber
members who helped
with the luncheon for the
business on Friday and says
that the new members look
forward to bringing some
light back to Perry and
helping local businesses however they can.
