Darke Countian Spotlighted in New York Times

The New York Times spotlights a Darke County resident this morning when it ran this article featuring a look at 17 year old Drew Lovejoy.

Drew is a Greenville resident who isn't unlike the rest of us...  except that he is a 3 time world Irish dancing champion. He recently won his third consecutive title in Dublin. His first title in 2010 made him the first person of color to ever win the distinction.

The feature also runs down some of the challenges Drew has faced and overcame as a result of his unique gift for dancing. Check it out and be proud that there is a world class performer living among us.

Congratulations, Drew!
