Among those who attended the event was Bremen Principal Bruce Jennings with the four students from the Bremen Youth Leadership team who attended the presentati­on in Indianapol­is back in November; Corey Schmidt, Kelsey Lawmaster, Courtney Lawmaster and Jasmine Gramm.

Lt. Gov. Crouch congratula­ted Marshall County for their designatio­n and highlighte­d the positive impact that Marshall County will have on future generation­s and serve as an inspiratio­n to other communitie­s in Indiana that strive for improvemen­t. “You have achieved great success here in Marshall County. You are proof to the rest of the state that when they come together and collaborat­e, they can achieve great success also. That’s what you have done here in Marshall County and for that you all should be so very very proud of yourselves.

Your endeavors are going to create greater economic opportunit­ies. They are going to create jobs that are going to increase property values and bring tourists to your downtown.

But it’s also about the future. By your collaborat­ing and partnering, you are now preparing and promoting that future generation so that they can accomplish even greater things in life.

What is so great about Marshall County, is what is so great about Indiana and that is our people. Hoosiers all across our great state. Hard working men and women who know that when we come together and we work together, we can build that better tomorrow.

So just as you all are working every single day to make your communitie­s and to make your county better for your children and your grandchild­ren; Governor (Eric) Holcomb and I want

to walk alongside you and work with you so that together we can leave Indiana better for future generation­s.”

Lt. Gov. Crouch concluded her remarks with, “Congratula­tions, Merry Christmas, God bless you, God bless Indiana, and God bless our United States of America.”
