Community pride was on full display Friday night at Edgewood High School! 🏈

Theresa represented Smithville as she accepted the game ball and posed for a photo with Megan, president of the Mustangs Gridiron Club.

We're proud to support local schools, student-athletes, and the volunteers who make these programs possible. Go Mustangs! 🐎

The Greater Ellettsville Area Chamber of Commerce extends its heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of G.L. Chandler of Chandler Funeral Home, who passed away on Sunday. G.L. was a longtime Chamber member and past president who believed deeply in giving back to the community he called home. He was a staunch supporter of Ellettsville, generously giving his time, resources, and encouragement to countless community efforts. From hosting the Ellettsville Farmers Market and supporting Chamber events, youth sports, local schools, charities, and community events, G.L. was always willing to lend his support.
Beyond all he did for the community, G.L. valued his family and lived his life with kindness and generosity. His willingness to help others and his genuine care for the community made a lasting difference in many lives. The Chamber is grateful for his years of service, friendship, and commitment to Ellettsville. We will remember G.L. with great appreciation and extend our deepest sympathy to his family during this difficult time.
