MILO – It has been one year since the Gary Metilly family lost their Deer Run Drive home by fire and the community rallied to help them resettle into a new home.

Now Gary and Nancy Metilly and their 11 children are extending an invitation to the public to join them during an open house from 2 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 14, the first anniversary of the fire.

It doesn’t matter to the family that the home is still not finished, they just want to thank people for their generosity, according to the Metillys.
