Local Interest

It's about time I wrote about something other than politics, don't you think?

These pictures were part of the 4th of July weekend kick off to Charter Oak's 60th Anniversary Achievement Days 4H&FFA Fair and livestock shows- Charter Oak Achievement Days was featured in last month's Wallace's Farmer magazine! These parents and kids work SO hard to maintain this fantastic part of our community, they really deserve our appreciation. Thanks neighbors!


Just south of Charter Oak, a line of 36 tractors form a parade through the countryside on Sunday. COU student Aaron Baughman organized a tractor ride as a 4H project for this year's Achievement Days. The caravan left Charter Oak around 12:30 Sunday afternoon south on L51 to Nelson Park Road where they rode east to Dow City and took the Kenwood Highway back to Charter Oak. In spite of the heat and the price of gas, plenty of curious onlookers enjoyed a drive out into the country so that they could watch the long line of red, green, and several orange antique tractors cut through the hills.
