Tri-County Women's Weekend

Okay, this is not going to be a blog post taken in the town of Remington today, but it is about people from our community. Twelve women, including myself, who work at Tri-County Middle/Senior High School from our principal to support staff went on a weekend trip to Hocking Hills, Ohio. Mrs. Goad, our principal, planned this trip and opened it up to all female staff at the school. Twelve of us made the trip.

We got there late Friday evening and broke into two groups on Saturday morning for our  3 hour "Canopy Tour." We zip-lined and climbed on rope bridges through the tree tops. It was an awesome weekend! After zip-lining into the afternoon, we then went hiking on several trails at the state park, seeing caves and waterfalls.

Some of the women have worked at Tri-County over 20 years, and others have been with us for only two or three. It was a great weekend renewing friendships, and getting to know each other in a non-school setting. See if you recognize any of these faces.

Wade Zetterberg

Today's Remingtonite is Wade Zetterberg. Wade is a graduate of Clinton Central, but has lived in Remington for the last 6 years. He is married to Heather Alberts, whose parents grew up in Remington. He and his wife are the parents of two young boys, Drew and Jack.

I found Wade tonight at the Tobias Center at the library. He is in charge of one of the activities that will culminate during Remington's Sesquicentennial Celebration; Remington's own "Biggest Loser" contest. Tonight was the weigh-in for teams of 4 and the final weigh-in will on July 14.

Wade told me that growing up in rural Clinton County made him think that he wanted to move away from small towns. He moved to New York City for a short time and knew that was not where he wanted to live! He loves Remington and is currently a stay-at-home dad. He wants to become a writer and is currently a member of the Prairie Writer's Guild. Welcome to Remington Wade!
