To the Editor:

Having been a businessman here in Grant County since 1974, I personally know how difficult, expensive and challenging it can be to start a new enterprise. I want to take this opportunity to recognize the Madden brothers for their vision and willingness to invest hundreds of hours of their time and thousands of dollars in upgrading the old Junior High School on Dayton Street and bringing it back to life. Their goal is to provide the community and the surrounding area with the opportunity to enjoy some good, clean family entertainment. I hope that everyone will invite a friend or a neighbor and come enjoy the music and see old friends. Let’s show the Maddens a good old Grant County turn out and let them know that their efforts are appreciated.
