Swamp Sounds: Local group among diverse music acts coming to Black Swamp Arts Festival
BOWLING GREEN — Carmen Cano loves Bowling Green and the coming of the Black Swamp Arts Festival is one of her favorite times of the year. “Last year we started doing the interactive sculptures that people can help build and this year were doing that again,” said Cano, who is once again one of the 31-year-old festival’s marketing chairs. “A lot of our juried artists from last year will return this year, there will be a couple new food vendors out on the main strip.” Cano is especially excited about the music lineup at this year’s festival, which begins Friday and includes both national and local acts. “We have a couple really good bands this year,” said Cano. “I’ve heard really good things about Daniel Donato. I’m not really a big country music fan, but just listening to his stuff, I thought it was really cool. It kind of gives me that old school rock ‘n’ roll vibe.”

The PaSean Way: Wimberly's impact substantial for BGSU football
BOWLING GREEN — “The PaSean Way” has become a way of life for Bowling Green State University’s football program. It shows just how much one player can impact an entire team. The rallying cry, named after BGSU senior running back and 2019 Whitmer High School graduate PaSean Wimberly, has been something that Falcons’ coach Scot Loeffler has used frequently with his team. What does it mean, according to the man himself? “I would say playing ‘The PaSean Way’ is basically having the grit and attitude on the field, giving your all, 100 percent, because that’s what I did to earn my scholarship a couple years ago,” Wimberly said. “I just gave it all, whether I was given a scout rep, a first-team rep, whatever it was.
Lasting freshness: Toledo GROWs Urban Farm to host four harvest dinners
The Harvest Dinner series, hosted by Toledo GROWs, are exactly what they sound like: farm-to-table meals made by local chefs that utilize just-harvested produce. This year, the organization is hosting four dinners in partnership with The Garden by Poco Piatti (on Tuesday), Bellwether at Toledo Spirits (Sept. 16), at Toledo GROWs Urban Farm, 900 Oneida St., with Chef Cynthia Bunch (Sept. 26), and Souk Mediterranean Kitchen and Bar (Oct.7). A Harvest Brunch is set for Oct. 19 at Toledo GROWs’ farm with a brunch buffet by Chef Pam Weirauch featuring her specialty pumpkin “Pamcakes,” and of course fresh produce from Toledo GROWs. “The idea behind using fresh produce from the farm at these dinners is to help people understand how much better fresh produce that’s been harvested in the last couple of days tastes,” said Yvonne Dubielak, executive director of Toledo GROWs. “If it’s in season, especially, that will help [guests] understand that you can make beautiful dishes with whatever you have.”

BRYAN — A dominating performance on Friday helped Maumee’s football team get off to its best start to a season in seven years. The Panthers scored three touchdowns in a three-minute span late in the first quarter and early in the second, led 49-14 at halftime, and cruised past Bryan 56-14 in a nonconference game at Golden Bear Stadium in Bryan. After going 1-48 from 2018 to 2022 and 5-5 last year, Maumee improved to 2-0 for the first time since 2017. “It’s good for our confidence, but we play at a week-by-week basis. Not too long ago, we were [1-48] and we remember that, remember how much work it took for us to get to where we are today,” second-year Maumee coach Evan Karchner said. “We just need to focus on getting better every week, and I think the wins will take care of itself.”
