A reader (D.D.) emailed and indicated seeing the paraglider and ultralight at the Darke County Fair this evening. Here is his note and photo ... "Enclosed is a picture of the Paraglider as it flew over the grandstand at the fairgrounds tonight. this picture was taken at 8:11 PM, the ultralight didn't get as close as the paraglider did but they both respected the helicopters airspace pretty well. This was taken into the sun and hasn't been retouched."

  1. This is about a waste of space on the internet, why not wait and get details before trying to be the first to report on it.

  2. At least this site reports news unlike another alleged news source in Darke County. If you don't like what is posted, then stay off the site.

  4. Thank you [previous commenter]. On a serious note, there are lots of "aggregators" out there who do nothing but provide links to other people's stories. I only do that occasionally. But there are now lots of readers on this site, and if there is some breaking Darke County news, I'm going to make it available to the readers even if it means they leave this website.
