OROVILLE - The Meyers twins, better known locally as Dee Paterson and Doris Reynolds, have been selected to be this year's grand marshals for May Festival.
"We were shocked when the girls told us... we are really proud that they asked us," said Doris and Dee about the news they were chosen.
A common sight around Oroville, the twins belong to several volunteer organizations, including the American Legion Auxiliary, the Oroville Grange, Royal Neighbors and Rebeccas, as well as being very involved in the United Methodist Church.
"We feel when you volunteer it makes for a better place," said Dee.
