Letters to the editor

Say no to big box stores


Millers is a great resource to our community. They help out in so
many ways.
They help by delivering food to shut-ins, helping at local funer-
als, employing terrific kids who carry out my groceries and help
keep our downtown vibrant.
Say no to big box stores!
