Another highlight of this item is a gift package including the Old Canal Smoke House’s barbeque sauce and seasoned rub for use in your own kitchen, plus a $25.00 gift certificate for a visit to the restaurant located in the old canal district of Chillicothe.  These items were kindly donated to the Farm Bureau by owners Dane and Jodie Straub.

Logan in the background.

The Ross County Farm Bureau is also providing two tickets to next season’s performance of the outdoor drama Tecumseh!, the story of the Shawnee leader who tries to unite the various Indian tribes in response to the encroaching white settlers in the Ohio country.
