Blessing Box Photo courtesy of the city of Groveport The city of Groveport is taking part in a nationwide project in which people in need can help themselves to free non-perishable food and self care items from a Blessing Box. The Blessing Box is similar to the Free Little Libraries around Groveport only instead of having access to free books, people have access to free food and hygiene products. Groveport’s Blessing Box is located in Degenhart Park, 341 Lesleh Avenue, and has a sign that reads, “Take what you need. Leave what you can.” People in the community who are in need of food or personal items can stop by the Blessing Box 24 hours a day. Anyone can donate to the Blessing Box either by leaving items in the box or by dropping items off at the Groveport Municipal Building, 655 Blacklick St. Pictured here are workers installing the Blessing Box.
www.columbusmessenger.com th April 7, 2019 - SOUTHEAST MESSENGER - PAGE 11 New horses already hard at work at Slate Run Farm The only sounds in this Slate Run Living Historical Farm field on this rare, warm March afternoon were the muffled clomps of horses’ hooves in the soft, spring ground and the scraping of a spring tooth harrow as it loosened the soil for planting. The farm’s two new draft horses, Judy and Prince, who are both four years old and are half-siblings, were pulling the spring tooth harrow guided by Slate Run Living Historical Farm worker Mike Huels. They were getting the field ready for the planting of oats and then, later in the season, sorghum and pumpkins. Judy and Prince take a break in their field work. “They’ve seen enough hard work that they enjoy standing and resting from time to time,” said Huels of the pair of horses. Photo courtesy of the Groveport Heritage Museum Old downtown Groveport Editor’s Notebook Huels said the farm obtained the two Percheron horses in early March from an Amish man in upstate New York. “Judy and Prince have done farm work before and some logging work,” said Huels. “They’ve helped plow, spread manure, and other farm work. Both horses are easy going, willing workers. Judy is a little more friendly, but they are both really good to work with. They’re patient and they’ll stand and wait till we’re ready. Then, when I say, ‘Go,’ they go.” Huels said the two gentle giants work well as a team. “They want to be together,” said Huels. Added Slate Run Farm Program Manager Ann Culek, “They have been very good so far. Their Amish farm background shows in their abilities.” Judy and Prince were brought in to replace some of the farm’s other draft horses who will be retiring soon - 26-year-old Maude and 27-year-old Kate. Last summer 18-year-old Sailor also retired. “Those horses have worked hard and Our Pictorial Past by Rick Palsgrove Rick Palsgrove Pictured here is a close up view of the business buildings along unpaved Main Street in downtown Groveport around 1908.

The working historical farm portrays how farming was done in 1880s Ohio.
