Longtime volunteer Tom King was named Grand Marshal of the Merrysville Electric Lights Parade, held Dec. 3 in downtown Marysville.

“Tom has been an integral part of this community for so many years,” Mayor Jon Nehring said. “His community spirit and dedicated service make him a perfect choice for Grand Marshal.”

King picks up groceries twice a week for the Marysville Community Food Bank and dedicates many hours to the food bank’s holiday Toy Store. He also is a charter member of the Marysville Kiwanis Club, where he serves as president and has helped with many fundraisers.
