Three Clinton County veterans were recently surprised with the presentation of “Hero Quilts” — previously donated by the Clinton County Quilters.

Chairman Jack Rose II and committee member Paul Butler, accompanied by Valerie Rose, surprised Blanchester residents Wayne Mills and Kristie Kiphart and Wilmington resident Sammy Dixon with patriotic handmade quilts and a big “Thank you for your service” from their fellow veterans and the Quilters.
