Once again John Elliott supports the local community. Have seen him at schools, cub scouts, etc. How lucky are we to have him in our own neighborhood. Thanks, John. We appreciate it.

John is willing to get up on his day off and come out and give of himself-That's quite commendable.He's not a guy that walks thru the neighborhood with his nose in the air like so many other figures in the media may.He's one of us,we're fortunate to have him in town.
