The Mansfield/Richland County Convention and Visitors Bureau (M/RCVB) recognized Excellence in Tourism at its Annual Meeting, held May 18 in the Ohio Brass Central Guard Room at the Ohio State Reformatory.

Jodie Snavely, group tour manager for the Mansfield and Richland County Convention and Visitors Bureau, went out to see the downed tree for herself, after her office got a call from a man who said he saw the historic oak fall. “Sure enough it was down,” she said. “People are going to be heartbroken.
