Letter: 4-H program important for Van Wert County
I am writing to show my support of the Van Wert 4-H program. I grew up in Van Wert, more specifically Ridge Township. My whole family has been involved in the agricultural industry their whole life. I used to farm the living room carpet every night... Full story
