Fundraiser features best of Ohio

By Betty O'Neill-Roderick
Special to the Beacon Journal

Ohio was in the spotlight at the first Destination Ohio, a fundraiser for the Early Childhood Resource Center held at the Executive Event Center in Perry Township Thursday evening. Angela Parker and Holly Benton coordinated the event, which featured Ohio foods and travel destinations.

Carol Howenstine and Melody Fuller were busy selling raffle tickets for baskets of Ohio ''goodies.'' Lil Blosfield sold chances on a mystery suitcase, and Venae Banner offered a variety of cheese and maple syrup from the Minerva Cheese Factory.

Bidding at the silent auction of Ohio getaways were Marlyce Parker, Brianne Nightingale, Alice Blaumeister, Dawn and Nick Campanelli, Char Lautzenheiser, Kay and Mike Flood, Mary Cirelli, Amy and Andy Camp, Stephanie Fakelis, Laura Moses, and Ralph and Judy Kraus.

Executive Director Geri Ashgrove thanked everyone for their support and said the Early Childhood Resource Center offers professional development for educators who work with children from birth to age 8.

Harold Ziegler Jr. proved his knowledge of Ohio, easily winning four times at Ohio Jeopardy. Prizes were Mid's spaghetti sauce and Sweet Louise ice cream sauce.

Veteran traveler Neil Zurcher regaled the crowd with tales of the unusual places he has visited during his One Tank Trips. He and his wife, Bonnie, enjoyed visiting with fans as he signed copies of his books.

Mary Brady had the winning bid for a performance of American Idols Live; Lucretia Scalia won passes to the Canton Classic Car Museum; Mark Banner took home a basket of Shearer's snacks; and Kelly Lilly will enjoy a getaway to Put-in-Bay.

The event was expected to raise more than $20,000.
