Over 60 former Burlington Industries employees, from the Monticello plants, took part in a reunion of employees Saturday.
For decades, Burlington Industries was the main industry in Drew County, operating three manufacturing plants.
“Burlington Industries” plants closed in January 2021, although a company with Burlington in their name, operated some of the facilities, a short time longer.
Plans are being made to make the reunion an annual event, for the first weekend in April, each year.
