South Charleston, Ohio

  The important thing about Ohio is that we live in Ohio.  There has been 8 U.S. Presidents from Ohio.  Ohio is home of the Ohio State Buckeyes, Cincinnati Reds, and the Cleveland Browns.  Orville and Wilbur Wright lived in Ohio when they made the first flight at Kitty Hawk.  Columbus is the capital of Ohio.  Our flower is the scarlet carnation.  The cardinal is Ohio's state bird.  But the most important thing about Ohio is that WE live in Ohio.
