Elder and Margaret Godby of New Concord were the stars of the show during the senior square dance. 

“We love the Muskingum County Blue Ribbon Fair and we come every year if we can. We love the senior center because we do a lot of fun activities. We both love to square dance and we love music and we just have a good time. We have so many friends at the square dance. We all went over and had lunch at one of the church booths. We just have the most fun and we have so many friends there it’s wonderful,” the couple exclaimed.
