Dear Editor,
I truly appreciate all the lo­cal businesses and people who sponsored and supported me this summer on my journey with Celebration Iowa. It was definitely an experience that I will never forget. Not only did I learn new musical techniques, improve on my trumpet skills and travel many places, but I made a bunch of new friends and family that will last a life­time. I hope that many people were able to catch the show in Clear Lake in August, or in any of the other 31 places we performed. It was one of many great shows and it was wonderful to see so many familiar faces. Without your financial support, I would not have been able to experience this opportunity. It makes me proud to repre­sent the town of Northwood.
