We congratulate Dareck and Kristin Cherwinski on being selected for the 2018 Perchville King and Queen. The Junior King was Joshua Wooton, a 6th grader from Holy Family School and the Junior Queen was Katelyn Papenfus, a 7th grader from Tawas Area Middle School. Click here for more on our 2018 Royalty.
