Mike’s Trash has been nominated for and won the Chamber’s “Shining Star” award this quarter! The Shining Star award is presented to an individual or business who has gone above and beyond to be a Shining Star in and for the community. The resident who nominated you says, “They bought this business and carried on the name. Then they opened a store front in downtown Rochester. Keeping the business local.” And that’s what it’s all about!

Lilly Pad has a lot to offer the community. Lake Manitou brings many visitors from out of town to the community. We cater to the lake because of our location, we offer boat slips to customers who come in off the lake as well as pontoon rentals. We also love to have entertainment on the deck in the summer. Our deck is a great place for hosting occasions or just hanging out. We invite all to come out and join the fun at Lilly Pad and Lake Manitou. We are still growing to better serve Fulton County and we are always open to new ideas. The post January 2024 – Lilly Pad Boutique appeared first on Fulton County Chamber of Commerce - IN.
