I am writing in support for the Friends of Ironton and the Rally on the River. What a weekend for Ironton, Ohio.

This had to be one of the busiest weekends in town for many years and I hope everyone is as proud of the organizers for this event as I am.

As a business owner myself, I am asking all the business’ in town to remember that the Friends of Ironton spend all year promoting this event all over the country and this is done from donations and funds from the events themselves.

So at this time while you still have the money, please make some type of contribution based on your profits from this weekend to the Friends of Ironton and let’s make next year better.

Keep in mind that all these men and women are volunteers and they are giving their time to bring more business to us.

Randy Kelley, Ironton
