Never mind the H20 - Ohio Northern University celebrated its 2013 homecoming wet and dry.
Everything went off without that wet hitch. There was a homecoming queen crowning, football game, health fair, Spielman walk/run, lots of food and music.
Donald Traxler captured some of the homecoming parade floats and bands. His photos are available in the photo scrapbook attachment at the bottom of this story.

Giant Ragweed and Marestail (horseweed) are problem weeds in some Hardin County soybean fields this fall. A survey of 105 Hardin County soybean fields was conducted in September to determine which weeds are considered problem weeds in the county.
There were also some fields with some volunteer corn, which had grown from the previous year’s crop. This on-going research is conducted annually by OSU Extension to find out which weeds are competing with crops for nutrients and moisture, which decreases yields while increasing herbicide and other input costs.
