We did it. Thanks to the generous contributions of so many of you, we're erecting a statue of Woody Hayes in Newcomerstown Saturday.
Nearly two years ago, we had a crazy idea to put a statue of Woody Hayes in his hometown of Newcomerstown, Ohio.
We weren't sure it would work, but today, we're happy to report that it did. Hundreds of donors stepped forward to contribute more than $40,000 to the project, we lined up renowned sculptor Alan Cottrill, and partnered with the Newcomerstown Historical Society.
This Saturday, we're holding the mother of all small town parties in Newcomerstown to dedicate the statue of Woody to the fine people of his hometown.
