Local country music legend Michelle Wright joined municipal officials on Friday, November 15 to unveil a snowplow that has been named in her honour. The name of the plow is ‘Snow Wright’ and it will be keeping the roads of Chatham-Kent snow-free in and around Michelle’s hometown of Merlin. Michelle was also honoured with a portrait by local artist Lucy Thrift, who has illustrated local legends such as Fergie Jenkins and Bill Atkinson. The illustration, which is done entirely in pencil, will hang in the Civic Centre atrium in Chatham.
