Meet the East Bend Town Keyholders

Photo by Town of East Bend

Started in 2019, but in the works for a long time, the Town of East Bend has recognized the first person in the East Bend community with a key to the town. In addition to the key, there is also is a proclamation describing the contribution the person has made to the town, and community. Also, there is a plaque in the lobby of the Town Hall that will have the names of all the recipients of the key to the town. Read how key recipients are selected here.
