"Every year in August, we put on a huge Community Days celebration for all of the people with bands and fireworks and food vendors from all of the local churches that come for the non-profit. Everybody pitches in to make this a success because they want to continue to have this in their town," Miklas says. "You find people who move in from out of the area, and they absolutely love that we have things like this for the community."
