A beautiful summer evening set the tone for Mennonite Memorial Home’s annual “Concert on the Lawn” on Aug. 19. This year’s concert featured Pantasia, a steel drum from Findlay High School.
Residents, family members and community members gathered to enjoy the Caribbean sounds brought by Pantasia. Kids, both young and old, tapped their toes and danced to the upbeat rhythms.
There was a five-way tie for first place in this week's Icon Football Contest. Jim Dillman, Kassandra Chiles, Luke Amstutz, Marc Shaner and Roger Steffan all correctly picked 13 of 15 games. Jim and Roger were eliminated by the first tie-breaker by picking Bluffton to win. Marc was eliminated by the second tie-breaker by picking Ada to win by 1-7 points. That leaves two tied.
Kassandra Chiles and Luke Amstutz both picked 13 games correctly and had the same two tie-breakers.
