The stereotype of country living is that everyone knows everyone else’s business. That didn’t hold true for neighbors of a new pig barn being built in Hancock County, less than a quarter mile from Hardin County resident Liz Vogt.
“I walk their creek,” she said of the Daft family farm. “I saw that [crews] were digging. I thought I’d go up and see what they were doing. I thought, wouldn’t it be nice if they were building a new barn."
Wheels will be turning as vintage and classic cars cruise to Richland Manor's Car Show Friday, June 26, from 4-7 p.m. Trophies will be awarded to the top five cars/truck and best motorcycle.
