“Truly honored”, is what Scott Willsey said when given the announcement that he and his wife Connie were chosen to be the 2011 Grand Marshals by The Glen Ellyn 4th of July Committee.

Scott and Connie Willsey have owned and operated Barone’s Restaurant in downtown Glen Ellyn for 40 years.  Having had all four of their children as well as eight grandchildren work at the restaurant, this is truly a family business.

The Willsey’s have long been great supporters of fundraisng efforts for local schools, scouts and churches.  They are also members of the Glen Ellyn Chamber of Commerce.  “The loyalty of the residents and village are overwhelming” says Willsey.

During the Fourth of July celebration, Barone’s always remains open for the festivities.  The highlight for employees, many who have worked at Barone's for 20-30 years, is to celebrate by watching the fireworks from the restaurant.
