LPAC receives Governor’s Hometown Award

          If you have children or enjoy community events chances are good you visited a festival or market in La Salle some time this year.  You can thank the volunteers with the La Salle Promotional and Advisory Committee, or LPAC.

The group is the recipient of a Governor’s Hometown Award.  The winners were announced Tuesday in Springfield.  LPAC is credited with putting together four family oriented seasonal events that promoted the community and downtown businesses. 

          The committee was a finalist for the big prize, the Governor’s Cup but that went to Mount Vernon.
