Pictured: Retired Silverhill Police Chief Kenny Hempfleng, pictured with Ashley Voelker and Cindy Schulze, is the grand marshal for the 39th Annual Heritage Day Festival and Parade. Chief Hempfleng spent the past several years as a pillar of the community. While he has retired as chief, he still stays a part of the town and police department, lending a hand whenever needed. Chances are, you haven’t been to a town event in Silverhill and not had the opportunity to shake his hand and chat about just about anything.
