What is your favorite location, place, building, or spot in Royalton? Why?

Just recently I went to Tunnel Rock in some Jeeps and it overlooks everything with the sunset so that's by far my favorite place. It's beautiful, the greenery, the sunset was red. When I came home my mom said that wasn't my first visit to Tunnel Rock. When I was younger they used to take their Jeeps up and I was part of a ride then. So it's become my favorite spot.

What do you want people to know about your town?

It is a small town, so you can still let your kids ride on the street. They can still bike to the park. We have everything you could possibly need except for maybe the advanced groceries. It's community based, it's close to everything. And it just has some really wonderful people in it.

What is wish for your life? What is a wish for your town?

Probably the wish would be to continue status-quo. As what we're doing, try to keep it small and personable. I know everybody has to grow and we start getting bigger and bigger. But to keep that community sense while we're doing that. Through changes, through different times, to really keep that community tie.
