Last Tuesday, they held a 25-year celebration at the plant, located along Highway 100, handed out awards to employees and made donations to local schools and the hospital in the amount of $5,000. Each of the three public school buildings, St. George Catholic School and the Hermann Area District Hospital were presented $1,000.
