Fall foliage tour draws a crowd
COSHOCTON – Roughly 700 people had registered for the fall foliage tour by noon on Oct. 17 and this was just the first day for the annual event sponsored by the Coshocton County Ohio State University Extension, Coshocton County Soil & Water Conservation District and Farm Services Agency.
The tour was held Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 17-18 and featured the western section of Coshocton County. One of the stops was Triple R Stables, which hosts Higher Hopes Therapeutic Riding Center. Pictured showing off one of the horses used at the stables are Whitney McMullen and Kimberlin Alton.
Other stops included: The Animal Boutique and Villas, Woodbury Wildlife Area, Camp Echoing Hills, Morris Cattle Company, Allen-Locke Sheep Farm and Rocky Ridge Dairy. Agriculture is the county, state, and nation’s number one industry and each of the stops represent an aspect of the county’s valuable agricultural enterprises.
Many local people volunteer their time, energy and resources to ensure the success of this annual tour. This year was no exception. The 2015 tour brought nearly 1,500 people through the western section of Coshocton County despite the cold weekend weather. These participants represented six states and 28 Ohio counties. In fact, 33 percent of the participants registered for the tour reside outside of Coshocton County.
The 2016 tour will feature northwestern Coshocton County on Oct. 15 and 16. If you have any comments on the 2015 tour, suggestions for the 2016 tour, or would like to serve on the 2016 planning committee, contact Tammi Rogers at 740-622-2265, rogers.376@osu.edu or visit: http://coshocton.osu.edu.
