WAPAKONETA - More than the weather was cooking Wednesday evening at the Auglaize County fair, as two homegrown chefs competed in the categories of Italian cuisine and any recipe using graham crackers.
CELINA - Each downtown business owner will be left with eight feet of sidewalk near their front door during a majority of the Main Street reconstruction project.
GRAND LAKE AREA - An Auglaize County official suspects a tornado may have caused millions of dollars in damage when a severe thunderstorm swept through the area on Wednesday.
