The Hardin County Hootenannies met at Faith Holbrook's farm. President Faith opened the meeting by asking Seth Davis to say the 4-H Pledge and Miranda Holbrook to do the American Pledge. There were 7 members present. Our advisors asked if any members needed any last minute help trimming or clipping our animals. A reminder that on September 4th at 2:00pm at the fair grounds will be goat pen set up.
After the meeting we worked on showmanship skills with Faith's goats. Advisor Grant Mizek stood in as our acting judge. We were reminded of many important aspects of being the best showman we can be.
Dayton football coach Rick Chamberlin received a recruiting tip about a top linebacker at Ada High School a few years ago and drove to a practice to get a glimpse for himself.
But the prospect, Chris Beaschler, spent the day in the trenches at offensive guard, which wasn't a good sign. The kind of athletic ability needed to play linebacker at UD's level typically isn't found there.
Chamberlin was ready to write off the visit as a wasted trip, but the Ada coach intervened.
Details are now available concerning Friday's Interstate 75 accident north of Ada near State Route 235, according to information from the Findlay post of the State Highway Patrol.
Bluffton police, fire and EMS assisted the patrol at the crash scene.
According to the Patrol: A Utah man suffered life-threatening injuries in a three-vehicle crash involving a tractor-trailer on northbound Interstate 75, near the Ohio 235 exit.
They played dirty at the Aug. 27 Founders Hall mud volleyball tournament on the ONU campus. But, that's the game. The mud volleyball tournament has been a Residence Life tradition at ONU for approximately 25 years. It helps usher in the new academic year and serves an important purpose. Proceeds from the event support the Dolly Parton Imagination Library for Hardin County. ONU’s Office of Residence Life is the largest annual sponsor of this initiative, which provides monthly books to children.
