“We had a blast Sunday
decorating the bus.”
- Amy Bourne
Ridgewood Music Boosters president
The competition will come to a head
on Wednesday, Oct. 2 at 5:30 p.m. at the
grandstands. Each bus will be driv-
en onto the track and the grand prize
winner will be announced. The winner
will also receive an additional $500 from
the vendors at the fair. Each school will
also do a 15-minute performance on the
infield. All money raised will go toward
the performing arts department of each
school.
“I just really encourage people to go
out, support their school and vote for
them,” said Bourne.

great idea to bring to the fair and try it.”
Yellow Bus Sales in Newcomerstown
donated the three buses to each school
and members of the performing arts
departments have been busy decorating
their bus with a theme of their choice.
Ridgewood has a hippie theme, Co-
shocton is currently working on their
theme, and River View’s theme is the
constellation of the stars, which will in-
clude Ursa Major, the constellation of the
Great Bear to tie in with River View being
the Black Bears.
“We had a blast Sunday decorating the
bus,” said Bourne. “We were out there all
afternoon. There were at least a dozen
kids out there.”
Coshocton’s bus will be decorated by
their art students.
“Mary approached our treasurer and
asked if we would be interested in doing
it,” said Nancy Zeigler, president of the
Coshocton Music Boosters. “The art de-
partment is doing most of the decorating.
I think the kids are excited about it.”
Zeigler said the money collected in
their box during the competition will go
toward purchasing new band uniforms.
“This is a great bunch of kids this year,”
said Zeigler. “I’m really proud of them.
Their dedication to everything that’s
going on right now is amazing. It’s easy
to work hard for them because you know
they’ll appreciate it.”
River View decorated their bus Monday
evening, Sept. 23.
“They’re [the students] starting to get
excited,” said Keith Watson, director of
the River View band. “I think it’ll be fun.”
