Chris Graue holds the scissors at a ribbon-cutting with his mother, Joan; his wife, Phyllis; and daughter Olivia.  Behind the Graue family are several members of the extended Graue family, the employees of the dealership on the city's north end and members of the Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of Commerce. Thursday night the dealership celebrated the finish of a long remodeling project and kicked off their 60th anniversary celebration with the ribbon-cut and a chamber mixer. The celebration continues this evening with an open house for the general public, which will include some great smoked meats from well-known southern Illinois barbecuer Mike Mills.
