Not far behind with 60 votes were “Puff n’ Stuff” entered by Jessie’s Home and Gifts in 2nd Place and “Edie Escrow” entered by Danahy Real Estate with 54 votes. Rounding out the top half with just short of 50 votes were “Victor the Vampire” by Gabel Brothers Furniture and “4-H Barn Buddies” by Perrysburg Barn Buddies 4-H.
