The Big Smile for the Community this month is the City of Taylorville Officials as well as the volunteers and first responders that lent their hands in this crisis.

Mayor of Taylorville Bruce Barry says it was amazing how the city came together on the night of December first mere moments after a tornado came through town.

Barry recalls the night like it was yesterday and says making sure the proper steps were taken to ensure safety was his first call.

Barry says for those that still need help or are looking to help he knows there is still ways to get involved.

Mayor Barry would like to thank all of the first responders as well as the volunteers and city officials for all their help.
