John Smith has been writing and applying for various grants that would benefit the Lucasville Bicentennial Celebration. Recently, the Scioto Foundation informed John that, due to his hard work, $2,600 is being awarded to the Bicentennial Planning Committee. The award will support our efforts in preserving
Bicentennial events by affording us the opportunity to hire a professional videographer. Thank you John and the Scioto Foundation!
