🎄 It’s not even Halloween yet, and we’re already thinking about the holidays!

📬 There's a special delivery en route to Topeka for the Governor’s Holiday Ornament Collection at the Kansas State Capitol. Our sunshine, mural-inspired ornament i is on its way to represent our community and show off a little hometown pride!

The collection will feature ornaments representing Kansas counties and their unique stories, landmarks and traditions—and become part of a permanent collection displayed during the holiday season.

📍We’re excited to help put Merriam on the map this holiday season. Who says it’s too early for a little holiday cheer?
