About 100 people visited the Rentschler Farm Museum on a warm Sunday afternoon in Saline.
"It's been a good, steady turnout," said Bob Lane, who dutifully clicked every time a person, family or friends entered the property to tour the museum.

One of the most popular attractions for kids was the table where they painted pumpkins.

Meanwhile, members of the Saline Fiddlers plucked, strummed and sawed their hearts out for the appreciative audience.

Volunteers provided donuts and cider from Coleman's Farm.

Wilma Armbruster Trachet and Elaine Masters showed off their quits in front of the historic photos in one of the barns.

Sheep provided by the Drake farm are always a big attraction.

The sheep stayed out of the sun.

The scarecrow watches over the Rentscher Farm garden.

Scott Ackling provided a tractor and took the guests on wagon rides.

After an afternoon of fiddling, a wagon ride seemed like a good idea.

The mayor as he has every year is ramping up his community events before the election. Is he spending city money like media support for his campaigning? When does this move from the power of the incumbency to unethical to illegal?
Typical that our police chief is unresponsive.
Yet more incompetent officials appointed by our self serving mayor and his kangaroo court of city council! This city is going to **** in a hand basket!
When will they be done with the trucks?
Why do you need to point out they are women? Does gender matter for some reason? *** is "the data center prospect". Do you even know how to use commas?
Very sad the blowback at individuals who just about volunteer their time (they are paid next to nothing) for the Township.
No one’s saying these aren’t nice people. But, Change is good. The township could probably use a fresh perspective from the next generation of residents. Nice or not, they failed the residents; not one single resident wants this data center except the people who sold the land.
Respectfully disagree. They did consult with attorneys and experts and understood as is sadly the case that fighting it would only result in costly litigation that drained the Township financial resources only to come to the same result.
