Clear Lake Mirror Reporter

The Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce Fourth of July Committee has announced that Betty Sherman has been selected as its Parade Grand Marshal.

For nearly half a century, community members have known Betty as a local businesswoman.  She moved to Clear Lake at the age of one and although she resided in Brookings, S.D. with her husband, Gene, for 17 years, her heart has always belonged to Clear Lake.  The couple returned to Clear Lake and developed the Oak Hills Golf Course.
