tions coronavirus presented . Kudos to Mike , Darla , Kari and Kaitlyn for a job well done this year . I know our farmers appreciate your hard work . Final thoughts I know there is a lot we will take away from 2020 . It is my hope we are able to focus on the positive adaptations we have made in both our personal and business lives as we move into a “ different ” normal . I hope you focus on the blessings , not the cancellations .
As we close the year 2020 , I would like to offer the following quote from Edith Lovejoy Pierce : “ We will open the book . Its pages are blank . We are going to put words on them ourselves . The book is called Opportunity , and its first chapter is New Year ’ s Day .”
Coshocton County , have a good and safe new year .
