2017 Annual Spring Plow Day

Info:

Plow Day is quickly approaching! April 8th will be the day as long as the weather holds up! Rain days will be April 22nd and April 29th. It is going to be at the same location as last year, across from the Portage County Regional Airport north of Ravenna, OH, on a 110 acre field owned by Mr. Giulletto. For your GPS, you can use 7966 OH-44, Ravenna, OH 44266. Parking will be on Nanway Boulevard, which is the road in and out of the airport off Route 44. We can turn into Nanway Boulevard and follow it up to just beyond the first building on the airport grounds, where we can turn around and head back toward Route 44. Park on the right side of the road, leaving one lane open for airport traffic and Life Flight. Anyone needing a loader to get a plow off their trailer can pull into Vogelsang Drive.
