## Story

Tracy David has always dreamed of owning her own *Dairy Queen*®, and according to a recent article in The Post she will be opening her first location in May of this year.

The article discusses David's background as the local Chief of Police in Hanover, and details her love of the *Dairy Queen* brand that finally culminated in her co-ownership of the soon-to-open Walkerton location.

Said David to The Post, "It's always been a dream of mine, so I said if I could be co-owner I would be the general manager. It's been overwhelming. I'm really happy about the buzz, people keep asking when we are going to open."
