Portland, Jay should be proud

Letter to the editor

To the editor:

Recently, we were back in Portland for a funeral.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express. We could not have been more pleased with the cleanliness and service. Portland should be very happy to have this hotel.

While there, we had a chance to tour the fairgrounds and see the spectacular Christmas decorations. Congratulations to the fair board and others who make this possible.

We also enjoyed driving down Meridian Street to see the Christmas lights and decorations.

The City of Portland and Jay County should be very proud.

Portland will always be home.

Portland proud,

Dick and Loretta Corle
