It's the best small-town high school homecoming parades in northwest Ohio. And, for a quirky reason it seems to attract lots of youth dresses as pirates.

Jamie Nygaard captured several views of last Friday's homecoming parade. She then took photos of the homecoming court in the pre-game ceremony at Harmon Field.

Kevin Nickel says he’s the village bill payer. But, as the new village fiscal officer, he covers many more bases that just balancing the town check book.

He was hired by the village on July 31 following a search to replace Laura Ewing, who resigned this spring after holding the position since September 2017. His salary is $60,000 annually.
