The Moose Lodge in Taylorville honored first responders on Wednesday in a special ceremony that also featured the Moose Lodge Supreme Governor Rodney Hammond. David Luttrell, the administrator with Moose Lodge 1516 thanked everyone for coming. 

Governor Hammond spoke to the people that were there and thanked the first responders for their work in Taylorville. He also had a present for all of the first responders, a stuffed animal named “Tommy Moose.”

Hammond went on to say he hopes that they never have to use the Tommy Mooses and that he along with the other members of the Lodge appreciate all First Responders do for Taylorville.

The Moose Lodge is located at 720 McAdam Drive and for more information on Moose Lodge 1516, visit their Facebook page.
