Christmas Parade A BIG SUCCESS

I was very pleased with the turn out for the first reintroduction of the annual Hillsboro Downtown Christmas Parade! We had beautiful weather, many great participants, and a large crowd of enthusiastic on lookers. The Snow Princess candidates looked lovely and raised a nice amount of money which will go to help fund the Christmas lights downtown.

Santa rode into town on a Fire Truck and was accompanied by Mrs. Clause, as well as one of his Reindeer who was posing for photos at the Red Rooster Inn. He later retired to his wonderland on the Plaza and met with MANY eager young folk. Plus the kids had a great FREE party at the Escape and the Orpheum showed two FREE showings of "Polar Express", courtesy of the Hillsboro Chamber of Commerce.

Thanks again to everyone on the 2000 & Beyond committee for your hard work! This town is lucky to have such dedicated people willing to give of their time to help the community.

I have so many ideas for next year! I hope you do too!!!

Thanks,
Terri Miller

A Moment To Give Thanks!

Well I just wanted to take a few minutes to write a word of THANKS. With Veteran's Day just pasting and Thanksgiving on the way, I have been reflecting a lot these days on giving thanks.

Thanks to our Veteran's for all they have done and continue to do for us. I am often struck at the strength and dedication of our young people who continue to enlist an serve our country. I get angry sometimes when people talk about today's young people as lazy, self-centered, spoiled and immature. After all, isn't that what's said about every new generation? I see some awfully brave and hardworking young people on TV every night in remote nations, far from home and comfort working for a better world.

Also I have been thinking about how blessed I am. I have a wonderful husband, beautiful children, and a lovely farm to call home. I have a great little office, in a building I love, next to people who are like family, in a town I have can call home. I get up everyday and do something I love and often can share with my family. I have GREAT customers, who I love to work with and gain valuable knowledge from.

This year has been another great year and my business has grown. I have recently started accepting the notion that I am one person and that I need help, and once again I was blessed to find some great talent to work with. Once again I am able to gain knowledge, as each of these exceptional people brings so much to the table.

I just had to take the time out of my busy day to give thanks and to acknowledge all those who make my life so worth living!

Thanks EVERYONE! I couldn't do it without you!!!!

NEW Name - SAME Great Company!

Some of you may have noticed that Miller Enterprises has a new name! We have incorporated and our new name is Miller Enterprises Design, Inc. Since there is already a Miller Enterprises, Inc. in the State of Illinois, and I am so well established as Miller Enterprises, I decided to simply add "Design" to our incorporated name. However, if you find the name too long, feel free to continue to call us Miller Enterprises, we'll know what you mean!

Thanks to all my customers for helping my business to grow. I hope that we have returned the favor in all the work we continue to do.
