Bringing the Revolution to Life
By Amanda Brinkman

Now the hard work begins. 
 
For months, my colleagues and I at Deluxe Corporation anticipated the day we would announce the winner of the Small Business Revolution – Main Street contest, but we never imagined the outpouring of emotion that would erupt in the Eagles Theatre on May 12. I said it at the time – that was truly the best work day ever.
 
Watching the Wabash mini-documentary, seeing the incredible vote count and hearing from your residents just how much you love the community and how instinctively you all came together to rally the town, well, we knew that we made the right choice in making you a finalist. Yet I still have never experienced the jubilation shown when the announcement was made. It was pure, it was heartfelt and it was genuine and we loved being part of it.

Two Wabash County high schools congratulated its graduating senior class with a special send off: a trip to back to elementary school.
 
Seniors from Southwood Junior-Senior High School and Manchester Junior-Senior High School stopped by their corresponding elementary schools, Southwood Elementary and Manchester Elementary, to share high fives, hugs and congratulations with students just beginning their academic careers.
 
“We wanted the seniors to inspire our elementary students,” Southwood Principal Tim Drake told The Paper of Wabash County. “It also allowed many seniors to show their appreciation to the staff at Southwood Elementary who helped them get a good start toward graduation.”

Aunt Kathy’s Kitchen is open and welcoming in the Wabash County community to try its menu items.
 
The restaurant, located at 1146 N. Cass St. in the Central Shoppers Mart, opened April 13 as the next chapter in owners Kathy and Lee Tackett’s lives.
 
“I worked at the school for 38 years in the cafeteria at Northfield and so I retired last May from there,” Mrs. Tackett said, “and I just thought (the restaurant) might be a nice, new venture for us.”
 
“She’s the boss,” Tackett added with a smile.
