Two Shawnee High School students are planning a fundraiser to raise money for their friend who has been diagnosed with cancer.
The Community Action Program has announced the finalists for their 3rd annual Black Business of the Year Award. They are Black Lace Hair Salon, The Boilermaker Restaurant and Bar, Cecil's Grill by Ross, Fresh n' Faded Hair Studio, and Jones-Clark Funeral Home. Lima 6th Ward Councilman Derry Glenn leads the program, and is excited to announce this ahead of the new Juneteenth holiday. He says it is a great way to recognize the work black Americans have put into this country, especially business owners.
The Black Lace Hair Salon will be offering free haircuts to all teachers, male and female Sunday, December 13th from 12 p.m. until 4 p.m. Owner and operator Jesse Lowe wanted to do this because teachers have been placed in a serious position this year and wanted to thank them with doing a wonderful job with a free haircut. Black Lace Hair Salon is located at 768 North Main Street in Lima.
