Barilla devoted to Steubenville

To the editor:

Many of us are familiar with Jerry Barilla because of his 50 years as a local business owner, but for the past three years I’ve had the pleasure of serving with him on the board of Historic Fort Steuben and the Nutcracker Village committee. The care and devotion he gives toward these causes is just an example of the effort he’ll put forth for the good of the city.

Besides taking a leadership role in numerous city events such as the Steubenville Christmas Parade, the Steubenville Hometown Celebration, Ohio Valley Frontier Days, the Nutcracker Village and Advent Market, the Summer Concert Series and the Calvin Jones Statue initiative, he takes upon himself much humbler activities such as mowing the grass and clearing snow at the fort. He’s obviously a great leader for our town, but also not afraid to roll up his sleeves and pitch in wherever and whenever he’s needed.

We are fortunate to have someone with his business experience and civic involvement as our mayoral candidate. Jerry Barilla for mayor.
