What a busy September this has been. It seems that we just get done with one thing and the next day we need to start preparing for another!
I do not have anything special to report about town news except that our three new signs are up with one to go. Thanks to all those involved in the placing of them and we hope they will still be in good shape for our 200 anniversary in 2248. Just think that is not too long to look forward to for many of you who live in Zanesville now!
I will accept any names that are willing to become the sort of historical committee for Zanesville and are willing to work on different town activities. We would be glad to include you as a member of the Zanesville Lions Club. You need not live in town to join. We meet on the second Monday of the month in the fall and winter and have no meetings unless called in the summer as we are busy with the park then. The dues for the club are $60 per year for individuals and $90 for couples. Your dues makes you a member of Lions International. You can look us up on the internet to see all the good we do all over the world. (You need not join the Lions Club to help with the historical committee.) Call me at 638-4327.
Things still going on:
Apple dumplings are still available from the Lions Club.
Commemorative 175 year buttons are still available for $2 each.
I have a few Zanesville History Books 1976 ready to sell for the price it takes to print them of $20 each.
Things to mark on your calendar:
Zanesville Lions Halloween Party Monday, Oct. 30.
Zanesville Lions Community Christmas Party and Lighting Contest judging Monday evening, Dec. 18.
Zanesville Lions participation in the Wonderland of Lights at Ouabache Park every evening in December. (Will need help with setting this up.)
There is a single white Egret now making its home at the McBride pond south of Zanesville. This is the first time in all my life I have seen this as the only ones I have seen are on the wetlands as we go to Fort Wayne on 69.
I am now looking forward to a grandson’s wedding in Franklin before I begin the month of October!
When I get home it will be just a few days when we will add a new grandson to our family. He will be a resident of Zanesville and will be the seventh generation to live here since 1858.
