Rittman Teens Center Cellar Closes Amid Waning Interest
In Rittman the teen center The Cellar will shut regular operations on September 17 due to lack of interest. The Apple Festival will keep it open for a dance featuring The War Hogs. Three Arts Club led youth efforts began in 1969 to create a non profit youth center with two governing boards and a director, opening Sept 26, 1969, in a bid to provide recreation and activities for local teens.

Old Organ Restores Wedding Music At Knupp Church
The Rittman Historical Society has revived the old Packard organ from Fort Wayne built circa 1870 for use at weddings at Knupp Church. Volunteers cleaned, repaired leaks, and tuned the five octave instrument. The organ, donated by the Luikart family, was traced from Kate Warnike of Marietta, Ohio, to Monroe County and onward through local families before its 1919 arrival in Rittman.
