The OVCTC Juniors and Seniors attended the Ohio Means Jobs Adams / Brown County Spring Career Fair at the fairgrounds yesterday! A big thank you to the Adams County Community Foundation for providing lunch for our students!

Today was a great day for the OVCTC Ag Business class to team up with the West Union Elementary 1st grade and cross categorical classes to plant marigolds! These students will get to come visit the CTC greenhouse weekly if they choose and monitor their flower and watch it grow. Ag Business seniors have been working hard to put the finishing touches on our greenhouse! It has been a long time coming and we are excited to conduct more opportunities like these in the future! Special thanks to administration and Raines Farms & Greenhouses for helping us finish a much needed project! Looking for flowers for Mother’s Day and vegetables this spring? OVCTC Ag Business will have them available to the public! And another thank you goes out to Mr. King and the WUES staff for working with us today!
