YMCA AND KELLER SIGN PURCHASE AGREEMENT
FOR KELLER SPORTS PARK

Corydon, Indiana, November 21, 2003 – The Keller Manufacturing Company, Inc. (OTCBB: KMFC) has agreed to sell the 44-acre property where Keller Sports Park is located to the YMCA of Harrison County for $500,000. The YMCA will in turn sell to the Friends of Harrison County Youth the land where they are building baseball and softball fields. The property recently appraised for $1,030,000.

“It was always our intent to arrive at a deal that worked for both the YMCA and Keller. In our case, it meant giving the YMCA a substantial discount, which we are happy to do to preserve this impressive recreational complex,” said David T. Richardson, Chief Financial Officer of Keller Manufacturing.

In an effort to save jobs and to improve the financial condition of Keller, the company had contacted the YMCA and Friends of Harrison County Youth in September about buying Keller Sports Park, the 44 acres where a baseball and soccer complex is currently under construction. The YMCA and Friends had previously leased the property for $1 per year.

“From the beginning, Keller Sports Park has been a wonderful example of what is possible when many groups come together to do something great for kids. And, that theme continues,” said Catherine Turcotte, executive director of the YMCA of Harrison County.

“We are grateful to Keller for giving us a sizeable discount on the property, and also grateful for the Friends’ commitment to this project’s success,” she added.

The fundraising campaign for the Keller Sports Park has already begun. To make a donation, please contact the YMCA at 812-734-0770 or the Friends at 812-738-6259.
