Meet your 2026 grand marshal, Frank Hines!

We’re sure you all know Frank but if not, let us introduce you! Born and raised in Milford the son of Fred and Arlene Hines, he was joined by siblings Sue, Fred, and Marty. He continues to reside in Milford with his wife, Karry, with whom he shares daughters Emily and Jessica.

Along with Milford Grade School and Milford High School, he attended Danville Area Community College. Today, you can find him working with his brother Fred at Hines Automotive.

He has and continues to serve on many committees and boards that contribute to our community! These include past President of Milford Jaycees, former trustee of the Village of Milford, past President of the Illiana Pullers Association, Milford ESDA, current chief of the Milford Fire Department, EMT on the Milford Ambulance Service, and Vice President of the Eastern Illinois Mutual Aid Association.

We are grateful for all the time Frank spends giving back to our community. He is truly a great role model for those looking to get involved and give back to the people and the place that raised them. We are honored to call him our 2026 Milford Fun Days grand marshal! If you see him out and about, give him a big congratulations!! Thank you for all you do, Frank!
