Please save Kidron, Jack Bauer!

Little did we know that in the quaint town of Kidron, OH just 3 miles away there was a disaster about to happen. No I am not talking about an Amish traffic jam during a Thursday auction, or that Lehman's had to close early due to a snow storm. No this disaster was much more sinister. It seems the terrorists in Fox's hit show 24 had targeted our quiet community for destruction. While the facts are a little mixed up (and this happens during disasterous events like this) it seems the show may have slightly exaggerated the population of Kidron by 29,000 or so, and while I couldn't find a chemical plant north of town, there is a Gerber Poultry plant just south of town. Their chicken is so good, it's no wonder the terrorists would target it.

It's been a lot of fun seeing our little community in the spotlight. I have a few links below you are welcome to click on for more about this unique story.

Happy Birthday Abe!

As a way to draw attention to one of the most influential leaders in American history, Eric Ebinger will run across the state of Ohio to commemorate Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday. Beginning on Feb 12, 2009 (today) Eric will run the equivalent of 2 marathons a day to complete his journey on Feb 16. The course will be along the aptly named Lincoln Highway. This highway was the first to cross the United States and happens to run directly by P. Graham Dunn in Dalton, OH. You can read more about the Lincoln Highway here. Or click here for the Times Bulletin article about Eric.

On behalf of the staff at P. Graham Dunn, we wish Eric godspeed on his journey across the state.
