Art and Connie have lived at their home almost three years. They tend to the beautiful flower gardens and have repainted the outside of the home since obtaining it.
“We extend our congratulations to the Saunders family for this honor. We also appreciate the residents of Wabash Christian Retirement Center judging this contest for us,” stated Holly Healy of the Carmi Chamber of Commerce.
