I just want to start out saying that our family follows all political aspects within Owen County. We have yet, but one, candidate that has cared enough to show up and share his views and outlooks for our county.
This man is Gary Alcorn. I see how he enjoys meeting new individuals and sharing why he should be sheriff of Owen County.
There are numerous signs of different candidates that have been through my residence and I feel that unless I meet and hear their values and outlook for our county, I may just be voting for one candidate, and that is Gary Alcorn.

Preserving the history of Owen County presents challenges especially when elderly people of Owen County pass away and their stories and remembrances are not shared with others.
The Owen County Public Library and the Owen County Historical Society are involved in a joint effort to preserve the history of Owen County communities, the early schools and businesses, and the events that contribute to the traditions that provide a rich legacy for the future.
Currently, we are searching for information and/or pictures of the Canby community.

February, consecrated as Black History Month in the United States by

enslavement, segregation and the denial of basic human rights, by propelling  
themselves and others into successes that would have been unimaginable just a  

As a 2014 candidate for Owen County Property Valuation Administrator, I would like to thank the Owen County Visioneers for sponsoring the Meet Your Candidates reception on Feb. 13 at the Owen County Extension Building.
