Cheers to Fairmont City Planning and Development Director Shae Strait and his continued work in ensuring the abandoned buildings around the city are dealt with swiftly.
Cheers also to his team of workers, both public and private, making sure the logistics are as smooth as possible.
Cheers to the Soup Opera for continuing the legacy of Sharon Zaccagnini and making sure that anyone, regardless of condition and background, have access to warm food and friendly faces.
Cheers to the North Marion High School Huskies Baseball team and their historic run for the state title. Despite falling to the Logan High School Wildcats in the game for the title, the team returns home as true winners to the community.
