Emmanuel United Church of Christ Fish Fry in Valley City

The second event that Joyce and her husband, Judge James L. Kimbler, attended on Friday night was the fish fry dinner at the Emmanuel United Church of Christ in Valley City. Joyce met women from the church when she was judging the Valley City Frog Jump on Sunday, August 10. The women from the church were kind enough to give out free coffee to people who were setting up for the frog jump. The church's fish fry was just as good as their coffee. Below are some pictures from this event.

Future Lawyers at the Wadsworth Bi-Centennial Celebration

Over this past weekend two recent graduates of the University of Akron Law School, Lavell Payne and Lee Potts, visited the Wadsworth Bi-Centennial with Lavell's children. They talked with former Mayor Caesar Carrino, who portrays General Eljiah Wadsworth, one of the founding fathers of Wadsworth, listened to some music and took in the atmosphere of the Celebration.They also wore their Joyce Kimbler for Judge shirts. They looked good in them, if we do say so ourselves.

Lavell will be working with Nationwide Insurance Trial Division. Lee will be taking the Ohio bar examination next February. Lavell is currently working with Nationwide while she waits for her bar examination results. Lee is clerking with the Medina County Prosecutor's office.

Twilight Stroll Home Tour of the South Court Historic Neighborhood Association

On Saturday evening Joyce and her husband, Judge James L. Kimbler, were docents for the Twilight Stroll Home Tour sponsored by the South Court Historic Neighborhood Association. The tour covered several homes on South Court Street and Broadway Street in Medina. The tour lasted from 5-9 pm and several hundred people took the tour.

Joyce and Jim were docents at a home recently purchased by Brad and Kelly Wagner. The home had been a rental unit for several years, but the Wagners are rehabilitating the home and plan to start living in the home this fall. This is the second home that the Wagners have restored, the first being in Urbana, Ohio, which is Brad's hometown.

The home is the actually one of the three oldest homes on South Court street, but since the exterior was covered with shingles in the 1940s or early 1950s it doesn't have the same appearance as homes on South Court Street that were actually built later than the Wagner home.

The Wagner home is an example of a home being changed from a rental unit to a owner-occupied home. Many of the Wagner's new neighbors stopped in to say hello and meet Molly. Unfortunately Brad was not able to take part in the tour since he is fulfilling an obligation to the Army National Guard.

Joyce at the Medina County Junior Fair Livestock Auction

Joyce attended the Medina County Junior Fair Livestock Auction on Friday, August 1, and Saturday, August 2. She purchased the Grand Reserve Champion Market Rabbit on Friday and a swine on Saturday. Since this was the first time that Joyce had attended the livestock auction, she was aided by an experienced livestock auction buyer, Dan Lloyd of Seville. The rabbits she purchased were raised by Chris Sulzener and the swine was raised by Zander Throckmorton.

On Friday night she purchased the Grand Reserve Champion Market Rabbit winner and on Saturday she purchased a swine. The rabbits, (three are exhibited by each 4-H member raising rabbits), will be given to a petting zoo. The swine will be processed and donated to Feeding Medina County.
