Local bar proprietors Dan Holtz and Ben Amstutz may differ in age. But the two beer-slingers share a common vision: creating a cross-generational drinking establishment and future restaurant that offers a variety of entertainment.
It was an up and down defensive performance on Tuesday night for the Celina softball team, but eight errors outweighed a handful of sparkling defensive plays as Elida came to Bill Feth Diamond and won the Western Buckeye League affair, 4-2.
