Over 80 people turned out for the Vendor's Night and the final banquet. We say "Thank You!" to all of the vendors who came and participated in the meetings. We appreciate all you do for our association.

Jerry Biuso came to visit and had plenty of women telling him "where to go" as he worked on the Ohio map. It was an honor to have him at our state convention as he works to build LICA. Awards were given out at the banquet along with our scholarship recipient, Sarah Harer, and the passing of the gavel. The group was treated to a tour of the Gradall Plant at New Philadelphia after the convention.

The women also enjoyed the activities of the winter convention. They had an up front experience with the Amish as they shared a meal in an Amish home near Farmerstown. Shopping was next on the agenda in Charm and Berlin. The next day found them making heart shaped necklace holders and note cards while getting to know each other. They finished off the convention with visiting a one room Amish schoolhouse and a flag factory in Sugarcreek.
