VALLEY CITY - Now in its fourth year of joining forces on the same weekend, the 85th annual Valley City Street Fair and 58th annual Frog Jump Festival kept visitors hipping and a hopping over the past few days.
The events are put on respectively by the Valley City Firefighters Association and the Valley City Community Group. The street fair kept the downtown area full Friday, Saturday and Sunday with a host of attractions including live music, a tractor pull, pie-eating contests, a kids big-wheel rally, and a drawing for $3,000.
The Frog Jump Festival, also known as the "Frog Days of Summer Classic," set up shop at Mill Stream Park, which is just a few-minute walk from downtown. Contestants of all ages and their amphibious pals put their hats in the ring in a variety of jumping categories and were joined by Cleveland Browns special teams player Josh Cribbs and his wife, Maria. The couple used the venue as a backdrop for an upcoming episode of their talk show, "Cribbs in the CLE: Josh and Maria Live."
Eight-year-old Lance Murray, of Columbia Station, was spotted getting his frog Spaghettio ready to jump his way to victory.

Sudden death of Medina boy spurs community party for younger brother
|
MEDINA - It is the kind of death a parent could never prepare for when it comes to their child - as if such a death exists.
Eleven-year-old Gage Gray, who would have started sixth grade Monday at Claggett Middle School, was full of laughter and energy.
Then, came the headache.
Soon, the Medina boy was being rushed to the hospital.
That was days ago.
Since then, his family, including mother of three Rebecca Strother, added new words to their vocabulary when speaking about Gage. Brain aneurysm. Arteriovenous malformation. Neurosurgery. Vegetative state. Death test.
"I was hoping to have used a different term but that is what they say it's called," Strother wrote in a Facebook post on Aug. 13. "They did them pretty extensively and checked every part they could that would react to the techniques they used like water in the eyes (similar to eye drops almost), water in the ears to see if the eyes moved at all, hands, feet, arms, shoulders, back of the jaw, etc... There was zero reaction to all testing.

Medina Fest to celebrate city businesses, traditions
MEDINA, Ohio -- Hoping to build on the success of last year's event, Medina Fest will feature more entertainment and booths from local businesses on the Medina Square on Saturday, Aug. 24.
"What's more quintessentially Medina than the marching band?" said Main Street Medina Executive Director Matt Wiederhold. His group is putting on the event.
The Medina High School Marching Bees will perform in front of the Medina County Courthouse at 9 a.m. to kick off the event, which will continue until 4 p.m.
In addition to the regular farmers market vendors, who will stay a few more hours, Wiederhold said around 60 local businesses will have booths on the south side of the square as part of the Made in Medina business showcase.
"This is an opportunity to promote our local businesses," he said. "We want to celebrate everything we have."
Local restaurants and food trucks will also have booths around the square, including 17 Public Square, Big Dog Daddy's, Buehler's Food Truck, Buffalo Wild Wings, Courthouse Pizzeria, Old World Foods, Rito's Bakery, Sully's Irish Pub, Union Barbecue and Zydeco Bistro.
