“With us not being able to have our egg festival this year due to the Covid outbreak, the Chamber of Commerce decided to have a hometown celebration for everyone to get out and enjoy everything our small town has to offer,” said Rita Price-Simpson, president of the Mentone Chamber of Commerce. “And we would like to give a thank you to MPS Egg Farms for making this event possible.”
