The Osage City Chamber of Commerce has selected two well-known local honorees to serve as parade marshals for the 2024 Osage County Fair Parade, to be held July 12, in downtown Osage City.
Parade marshals Michelle Martin and Jessica Lickteig, both secretaries at Osage Elementary School, were recognized for their willingness to go above and beyond to help families who may be struggling financially or otherwise. They make sure every child that walks through the doors of the school feel welcomed and loved, as well as making sure they have access to everything they need to be safe and successful.
Martin has lived in Osage City since 1978, and graduated from Osage City High School with the class of 1980. She has been employed as a secretary at the OCES for the last 26 years. She is married to Rick Martin, and they have two sons, Dylan and his wife Katie and three grandchildren, Khloe, Layne and Paislee, all of Osage City, and David, of Lawrence.
Lickteig was born and raised in Osage City, and graduated from OCHS in 2006. In 2009, she married Ryan Lickteig, also of Osage City, and they built their family home. They have two daughters, Jordyn, who will be an eighth grader, and Taylor, who will be in sixth grade this year. Jessica has been an administrative assistant at OCES since 2016.
The Osage County Fair Parade gets underway at 6:30 p.m. Friday, July 12, 2024, in downtown Osage City.
