Most recently, Dale secured the rights for Wabash County to be part of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library program to provide books to local kids.\r\n\r\nMinnich then took the podium to spotlight the 2024 Business of the Year, Kalenborn Abresist Corporation. Kalenborn recently celebrated 100 years in business and has received back-to back awards from the Indiana Chamber of Commerce as a Manufacturing Best Place to Work.\r\n\r\nFor the event\u2019s finale, as is tradition, the 2024 Distinguished Citizen was named.
