"We're all smiles out here," Boyd said, celebrating on the grounds of Red Dawn's mysterious Weather Control Pyramid, with dignitaries and representatives from around the region.
Red Dawn Mayor Monterey McPhillips was also in attendance at the evening's events, and promised his citizens a parade will commence on Fleetwood Avenue this coming weekend.
"I can't tell you what a pleasure it is that we here in Red Dawn get to be the center of the new era for this expanding region," McPhillips said. "Red Dawn has been growing by leaps and bounds along with her neighbors, and I have a feeling we're just at the beginning of a very exciting time for Midlandia."
Many regional celebrities in black tie were also seen at the gala event for the announcement, flying into Red Dawn International Airport, the largest airport in the region, including jazz legend Belinda Tito King and baseball home run champion "Beardy" Buffins, recently named Midlandia Gazette's "IT" Couple of 2016.
"Beardy and I are honored to be heralded by the nice, nice folks of Midlandia, all one million of you!" King said before launching into a rendition of her hit song, "Ain't No Cumulo in Your Nimbus", live before an audience of 483 invited guests. The event was also televised around the region in an unusual network TV event. Cheers and whistles filled the air as celebrants toasted the occasion.
When asked what the next goal for Midlandia would be, Boyd said, "Now we're going for TEN million!"
Commemorative copies of the special "Midlandia at a Million" issue of the Midlandia Gazette will be on sale this Friday at reputable newsmongers throughout the region for the low, low price of $1.00.
