Girl Scout Cookies Sent To Area Veterans

Presented By Classic Brands

Watch our interview with Bobbi Jo Hoffman and Jamie Russell

The annual sale of Girls Scout cookies is a treat for many of us, and veterans of the U.S. military are no different.

This year, a group called Soldiers Angels helped facilitate the delivery of 9,092 cases of the cookies to the Chillicothe Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

Bobbi Jo Hoffman of Soldiers Angels says that many cases totals more than 100,000 boxes of cookies.

Jamie Russell, Voluntary Service Specialist at the Chillicothe V.A. Medical Center says the cookies are presented to the hospital’s in-patients and out-patients, along with the Veterans Service Office distributing Girl Scout cookies to veterans in the community as well.

Hoffman says this is one of the many things Soldiers Angels does to help make veterans lives “a little brighter.”

She says they need more volunteers and hopes to see more people in our area get involved.

Presented By Atomic Speedway

After the Chillicothe Paints and West Virginia Miners traded one run in the first inning, the Paints broke the game open in the top of the second inning with an 8-run offensive explosion and went on to a 10-1 Prospect League victory.

The Paints big inning got off to a start with the help of shaky pitching control from the Miner’s, as the first three Chillicothe batters reached on walks, then a fourth player was hit by a pitch, followed by a sacrifice fly.

Leading 9-1, Chillicothe added a run in third, with both teams going scoreless the rest of the game.

The Paints had 10 runs on 7 hits, committing no errors. The Miners scored one run on 8 hits and committed 2 errors.

Multiple hit games for Chillicothe only came from Drew Wilson with a 2/4 day at the plate. Ben Gbur and Isaac Bair each had 2 RBI’s with base hits.

Bradley Dunn was the winning pitcher with 4 innings on the mound, yielding 5 hits and 1 walk and fanning 2 batters.

The Chillicothe Paints improve to (2-3) on the season and return home Wednesday vs West Virginia at 7:05pm.
