Mayor Grayson Vandegrift has declared today Chip Guillot Day, in honor of the former manager of Southern Equine Farm, who left that position recently.
"Some citizens requested we honor his time there," Vandegrift said in an email. "He and the farm gave back a whole lot during his tenure."
Vandegrift's proclamation said Guillot managed the former Parrish Hill farm, adjacent to the city limits, "in away that allowed it to greatly service Midway and its citizens." It mentioned donations to Walter Bradley Park and citizens who needed help with utility bills, expanded parking for the Fall Festival, locations for the "Midway to Love" movie, produce for community dinners "and much more."
Vandegrift's proclamation also named Guillot an honorary citizen of Midway. It said he "has become a well known fixture in Midway, and will remain so."
Chip Guillot was also known for his chili, which won the 2018 Chili Cook-Off. Here he is pictured with his 2019 concoction.
