The Fremont County Commissioners are seeking letters of interest to fill two vacancies on the Fremont County Heritage Commission. One of the members of the Heritage Commission, Kay Ellison, resigned her seat to devote her time to other interests. Kay represented local museums on the Heritage Commission. The new appointee would serve out the remainder of this term. This term expires on January 1, 2015.
