4 The Delphos Herald Van Wert County Fair August 2012

The Van Wert County Fair has always been proud of its fine machinery display and again this year is looking forward to a fine show furnished by the machinery dealers of our area. Since agriculture is the leading industry in our county, farm machinery plays a very important part in our daily lives. In addition to the new machinery, there are many old gas engines and antique tractors that will be on display and in operation during the 2012 Van Wert County Fair. These pieces of antique farm machinery have proven to be an exciting addition to the exhibit provoking fond memories of farming of yesteryear.

Outside or in, detecting a natural gas leak s easy. A leaking pipeline might make a hissing sound you can HEAR. Or, you might SEE blowing dirt, bubbling water or an unusual area of dead vegetation. The familiar rotten-egg-like odor you associate with natural gas is added to help you SMELL a leak from a gas line or appliance.
This safety awareness message is brought to you by the natural gas member companies of the Ohio Gas Association.

Natural gas is clean, efficient and safe. Remember not to dig on your property without first calling Ohio Utilities Protection Service at 1-800-362-2764. And if you ever suspect a leak walk away, right away. Once clear of the area, call your natural gas company or 9-1-1.
