Leaman was part of the Summerfest committee which brought in the larger midway. He is also the co-chair of the Santa Claus parade and co-chair of the fundraising campaign that was held at the King house with the elaborate Christmas light display and the Santa visits. Schram, who I am told will underplay his role, is the mastermind behind all the Kinsmen’s social media. He is the one responsible for keeping the public informed of upcoming events and going live during events. He has stepped up and was voted in to be the new vice-president for the coming year. Mark King was very deserving of winning the Rookie of the Year award. King took a great leading role on the Summerfest committee. He has stepped up to help Leaman with the Santa Claus parade and hosted the Christmas Lights fundraiser at his place. Incoming president is Dave Bage.
