Each year, the History Makers Gala recognizes long-standing residents whose outstanding contributions of time and talents have helped to make McLean County a better place to live. The Gala dinner & program celebrates the honorees and their service to the community. This year’s honorees are Melinda Fischer, John McIntyre, Feli Sebastian, and Camille & Art Taylor.
