Darke County Junior Fair Dog Department names 2024 Canine Royalty
GREENVILLE – Friday evening, the Darke County Junior Fair Dog Department named their 2024 Canine Royalty. Each contestant must fill out an application and submit it for review. Both contests are similar, however, they come with some differences. King and Queen applicants are assigned a random dog by simply drawing a name to complete a showmanship pattern to then be scored by a selected judge. Prince and Princess applicants use their own dogs to also complete a showmanship pattern.

Darke County, Ohio, where I live, borders Randolph County, Indiana, which harbors many artists and artistic endeavors; however, this column highlighting the arts in Darke County seldom covers these easily accessible and excellent creative resources.

One of the excellent artists whose work is currently available at The Art Hub is potter Mary Boettger, who I first met when she was teaching Art at Mississinawa Valley School.
