Chocolate Walk

A nice crowd walked Van Wert’s downtown area on Friday evening for Main Street Van Wert’s second annual Downtown Chocolate Walk. Local residents purchased tickets and downtown businesses provided chocolate treats for those who visited their stores. Here, retired Van Wert County Common Pleas Judge Charles D. Steele and his family and friends eat their treat at Truly D’Vine Bread Company. (Dave Mosier/Van Wert independent)
