FROM
THE EDITOR... ON THE INSIDE - FRIDAY, AUGUST 17,
2012 |
The lead story for today is – of course – the Great Darke County Fair. Ribbon cutting and
grand opening is at 8 a.m. The gates, however, opens at 7 a.m. for the early risers. Get
there early and check out the displays and vendors before the crowds hit. For the Harness
Racing fans, watch for Saturday’s post (about 10 p.m. tonight) for Saturday’s Race Card.
