Celebrate Ohio


Today, at 5:00, we had the Ohio Night potluck dinner. As usual for these potlucks, people brought all kinds of good food to share. Sue made the Halter family favorite, cheesy potato casserole. Needless to say, there was none of it left to bring home. The planners put together an Ohio slide show and sheets with lots of interesting Ohio facts. Then we all gave a short talk about ourselves, where we lived in Ohio and facts about our county. It was open to people who lived in Ohio now, lived there in the past or just wished that they lived in Ohio. We had representatives from 22 of Ohio's 88 counties. At the beginning of the dinner, they read a letter from Governor Strickland in which he proclaimed today as the date of the Upriver Ohio Recognition Dinner, and gave his good wishes to all of the Ohio snowbirds in the park.

Countdown to Kris' visit: 4 days
