A new segment on Sadie’s Take on Delaware Ohio is “Did You Know About”.
There are several great people and places in the local area. Things that Delaware County residents either take for granted or don’t even know is right under their nose.
We start with one of NASCAR’s hottest drivers – David Blaney. And a Toby’s didn’t know moment.
There was always a sense of pride when watching NASCAR and seeing that Blaney is from Hartford, Ohio. Problem is that it isn’t the Hartford Toby thought it was.
There are at least two Hartfords in Ohio, one in Trumbull County in Northeast Ohio and another in northwest Licking County — only about 10 miles from Sunbury.
Well Blaney is from the one near Warren, Ohio, while Toby thought he was from the one near Croton.
Even without Blaney, the Croton area is known for being home to “The Biggest Little Fair in the World” — the Hartford Independent Fair. And it is a great time. Toby and Gretchen have gone the past two years and enjoyed the livestock sales and a packed midway. It is an independent fair, bringing together Licking, Knox and Delaware Counties for a nice “old fashioned” fair.
This year’s fair will run from August 5-11.

Not a NASCAR fan… nor do I know beans about it. I have been to the Croton Fair however.
I was thinking of a similar category for one of my blogs. Something like “Didja Know” of course then I’d be alienating all those people who like correct English and you got there first.
Your blog is classier by the day.
