Salamonie Summer Festival Fireworks

Check out this great piece of video from the fireworks finale at the Salamonie Summer Festival in Warren Thursday night.

Thousands of people gathered at the park, in their backyards, down the street in the school parking lot and at the baseball diamond. Cotton candy, ice cream and pulled pork sandwiches were on the menu; live music and a balloon launch were also part of the evening's fun.

Ronald McDonald at WCPL

Ronald McDonald made his annual visit to the Wells County Public Library on Thursday. On Wednesday he was visiting the Ossian branch of the library, bringing his story-telling skills and snappy-patter to dozens of local kids.

He might be a clown, but he's all business when it comes to kids: treating them like little people and delighting in every smile he coaxes from their lips...

Ossian Independence Day Celebration

Ossian Health and Rehabilitation Center was the site of the 2009 Independence Day celebration in the northern Wells County community.

Complete with a parade of stars; free popcorn, games and balloons for the children; and live entertainment courtesy of some very talented Norwell High School students. A fireworks show capped an evening of family fun.

Rolling thunder: Tank comes to Bluffton

Sports Editor Paul Beitler shot some great video of the efforts to place an M-60 A3 tank at the National Guard Armory south of town.

Chains snapped like twine as the steel behemoth, weighing more than 50 tons, was positioned out front. Beitler was smart enough to stand back and give them plenty of room to work.
