Meet your 2026 Dresden Homecoming Parade Marshals
Darron & Tammy Delancey have been very well known to our wonderful village for many years! They have been married 38 years & have 2 children, Shadley & Shirer! They have 3 grandchildren, Cordell, William & Camden Jo. They have the Humble Heart shop in Dresden, which will be celebrating 35 years of business in July! Darron opened Humble Heart in 1991 because Dresden was booming and Longaberger was bringing tour buses every day. Their business has done great ever since! Darron & Tammy have opened 6 more stores since, in Dresden, Berlin & the Tanger Outlets in Columbus. Darron & Tammy love the kind-hearted people living here in Dresden & love the friends that they have made over the years!
We chose Darron & Tammy as our parade marshals because they are 2 of the biggest community supporters & do so much for our little Village! We are so thankful to have amazing people like Darron & Tammy Delancey!
Be sure to keep an eye out for the Delanceys leading our Grand Parade on Wednesday, June 17.
