Starting November 8, 2017

Warren County Wanderings

This Saturday is Veterans Day, a holiday that got its start with the armistice enacted on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, 99 years ago, to end World War I. Veterans are being honored at a number of locations this weekend - details below! - including in a special event at The Farm in Harmony's veteran-themed corn maze on Saturday. Speaking of farms, Warren County is hoping to better understand its farmers, their consumers, and how to strengthen the local agricultural community. You can help this effort by completing the Grow Warren survey by clicking here. It’s open to both farmers and consumers, residents and nonresidents. Happy Veterans Day, and Happy Wanderings!
