Everyday Meigs: Week of Jan. 15, 2018

EDITOR’S NOTE: Everyday Meigs is a new feature for the Meigs Independent Press. Each week a person or place in Meigs County, Ohio will be described without revealing the name of said person or place. Readers are invited to guess the identity of the person or location described for one week. Readers must email their name and contact information along with their guess to [email protected] to participate. One correct answer will be randomly selected from all the correct guesses submitted. The winner will receive a prize for their correct answer. Please do not comment in the post on Facebook as they will not be counted. Each Monday a new person or location will be described and the previous week’s person or location will be revealed.
