City honors Bill Drummer for boosting downtown business membership

During the recent Wauseon City Council meeting, a significant highlight was the upcoming recognition event for Bill Drummer, a key figure in the local business community. Scheduled for next Monday from 3 to 5 PM, the event will take place in the back of the chamber and aims to honor Drummer for his substantial contributions to the city and its businesses, particularly along Wasatch Avenue.

City officials emphasized the importance of this recognition, noting that Drummer has nearly doubled, if not tripled, the membership of the local chamber of commerce since his involvement. This growth reflects not only Drummer's dedication but also the positive impact he has had on fostering a vibrant business environment in Wauseon.

The council expressed hope that members could attend the event, even if only briefly, to show support for Drummer's achievements. The recognition is seen as a vital opportunity to celebrate local leadership and community engagement, reinforcing the city's commitment to supporting its business sector.

As the event approaches, it underscores the council's ongoing efforts to acknowledge and promote local initiatives that contribute to Wauseon's economic development and community spirit.
