FOUR GENERATIONS MAKE UP THE NEBO COMFORT SYSTEMS CREW; RELOCATION CELEBRATION HELD THIS AFTERNOON

Nebo Comfort Systems is a family affair that spans four generations.  Included among them: (front, left-right): Harley Warren, Payton Warren, David Moore, (back, left-right): Meagan Warren, Tyler Moore, Robert and Lorene Moore, and Diane Sebring.

The relocation of Nebo Comfort Systems from Genola to Elk Ridge was marked this afternoon with a party at the heating and air-conditioning company’s new shop on Shuler Lane.

Hospitality was in no short supply.

The occasion was shared among friends from the Payson and Santaquin Chamber business community, local city leaders, Miss Payson Jenna Wright, and First Attendant Camri Jensen.

After cutting ribbon, the Moore family, owners of Nebo Comfort Systems, treated their guests to a full lunch.  For many, prizes that ranged from logoed T Shirts to a folding patio chair were in store.  

Friendly conversation was in abundance for all.
