Library's Next “Family Fun Day”
“Family Fun Day” at the Greenville Public Library continues on
Wednesday July 13 at 11:00 a.m. with “Poof Daddy.” This
fast-paced, up-beat and totally off-the-wall comedy magic is a high
energy audience-interactive event on the theme of sports, health, and
fitness. Poof Daddy is the same fellow who did the Dr. T. Rex,

STATE REPRESENTATIVE JIM BUCHY
Summer in District 84
I have always been proud to call the 84th House District my home,
especially this time of year when the weather is heating up and our
local fairs and festivals get underway. There is nowhere else in Ohio
quite like it, and when our festivals and fairs are in full swing no
