I just turned in the last of our on line orders for shirts and sweatshirts. These will be ordered, printed and ready for pick up or shipping I would guess close to the end of the month. Thank you for your patience! There will be some t-shirts for sale at our weekend celebration, but colors and sizes are limited. Koozies can be purchased from committee members or at the event. Don't forget our raffle for the beautiful grain bin picture! It is on display at the Gilman bank, and raffle tickets can be purchased there. The raffle tickets also include Gilman CENTENNIAL coins. We have about a dozen centennial coins we will raffle off using the grain bin tickets. Get yours purchased today!
