    Thanks Monticello Live for your coverage. I grew up in Wilmar and love coming home for June Dinner is something I look forward to every year. There is so much love and community togetherness there. No matter how old I get, I will never forget my home. Also, there is so much history that goes with June Dinner. This is something I tell my children about, not only coming home to celebrate but what it means. Once again, special thanks for covering June Dinner.
