The Garner Chamber of Commerce is proud to introduce Dean Cataldo as the Grand Marshal for Garner Industrial Days, July 9–11, 2027!
A 1956 graduate of Garner High School, Dean’s story is rooted in our community. He continued his education at the University of Iowa and the University of Minnesota’s mortuary science program. His career brought him back to Garner as a high school teacher before he began serving area families through funeral home ownership in Britt and Woden in 1975 and Garner in 1976.
Through his work in education and funeral service, Dean has been part of many important moments in the lives of local families. Alongside his wife, Beverly, and their children, Brian, Brent, and Kristine, his connection to Garner spans generations.
As we celebrate Garner Duesey Days, we are proud of the Duesey Days tradition of honoring people who have helped shape our community. Dean’s lifelong ties to Garner make him a meaningful part of this celebration.
Please join us in congratulating Dean Cataldo, our 2027 Grand Marshal! We look forward to honoring him during a weekend celebrating our community’s past, present, and future.
Industrial Pride. Entrepreneurial Spirit. Duesey Traditions.
