(6-22-24) This past Tuesday, June 18th and Thursday, June 20th painters started on the Mills Brothers Mural at the Park National Bank building located in downtown.
The Mills Brothers were a vocal quartet, all born in Piqua, consisting of John Jr. (1911-1936), Herbert (1912-1989), Harry (1913-1982), and Donald (1915-1999). The group produced such hits as “Tiger Rag,” “Paper Doll,” and “You Always Hurt the One You Love.”

That is cool! I remember hearing the Mills Brothers on the juke box at the Shingle Shack back in the 60’s and 70’s when I was a kid. Brings back good memories of the lake life back then.
