known for its residents’ friendliness and willingness to work hard,      6
and that dynamic effort is readily reflected in its Guinness World       7
Record. A partnership between the City of Ashland, the Ashland County    8
Park District, and Grandpa’s Cheesebarn & Sweeties Chocolates and its    9
owners, Dick and Ronda Poorbaugh, 776 lighted Christmas trees were       10
placed along the path on Candy Cane Trail, leading to the city setting   11
the mark for largest display of illuminated metal                        12
structures/sculptures, and we applaud all who united behind this         13
cause; and                                                               14
     WHEREAS, Ohio’s strength is grounded in its many and varied         15
townships, villages, and cities, and Ashland has been recognized as a    16
standout by Guinness World Records. The city is home to people who       17
uphold noble ideals and exemplary values and who take genuine pride in   18
their exceptional community, and we are certain that it will continue    19
to make countless outstanding contributions to our state and society;    20
and                                                                      21
     WHEREAS, Every state depends upon such vibrant, durable             22
communities as Ashland for its own survival and stability. By            23
undertaking this exciting challenge, the city has demonstrated it is a   24
place of many engaging qualities, and it readily embodies and thrives    25
upon the values of which our flag is an emblem; therefore be it          26
