Marion Business Association named Crystal and Alan Ledbetter as the 2023 Main Street Champions.  

The Association recognized the couple for their dedication to their community in many ways, including:

• They are good neighbors to other property business owners. If someone needs equipment that Alan owns, he makes it available and usually operates it for them. 
• In January 2021, Crystal and Alan Ledbetter purchased a prominent historic downtown building and immediately begin making improvements for their commercial tenants and preparing the upper level for future living units. Alan and Crystal are very hands-on in their renovations.
• They are great volunteers at special events and will take on the most undesirable jobs with a great attitude. They dressed up their back alley and it is now the local gathering place.   
• Crystal serves on the Marion Business Association Board of Directors and is the current treasurer. She is active on the Events Committee and Executive Committee. 
• Crystal and Alan are supportive to their tenants and are shop local advocates.
• With a positive attitude and good humor, they give their most precious resources - time and energy.
