The All Weather Gang had its origins when Don Grideger and John Hodgins of Batavia, N.Y., used to meet at the Miss Batavia Diner each Saturday morning to drink coffee, indulge their passion for sticky cinnamon rolls, then head out for some place in Genesse or Wyoming counties to paint a landscape.

When they presented their first exhibition of landscape paintings, they humorously named themselves The Group of Two, hinting at the renowned Canadian artists known world-wide as “The Group of Seven.”

First United Methodist Church provided a welcome back potluck for Ohio Northern University students following Sunday's worship service. Ken Collins captured some of the event on film.

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.
