Dena Patee with the Ellis Alliance updated the county commission this week on some of the projects undertaken by the organization. Patee says they recently received grant funding for a walking trail.

A new travel brochure has been designed through a job shadow program with the high school, and the Alliance has taken over as director of the Chrysler Museum. Patee says the museum is now open Tuesday through Saturday, and they plan to add staff to increase the hours it is open and add Sundays.
