Here is the requested report about the 3rd annual lock-in that was held on Friday, October 24, 1997 at the Fairfield County District Library. We had a great turnout as usual. There were about 40 people that showed up and several volunteers. Thanks to everyone who helped! Don't know if anyone made any fantastic discoveries but several people seemed to find at least something that they were looking for. We had a couple from Missouri and someone from Michigan! The Fairfield County Chapter of The Ohio Genealogical Society would like to express deep gratitude to Gayle Gardner, the former genealogical librarian at the Emporia Public Library in Lyon County, Kansas for passing along the wonderful idea of having a lock-in. Thanks Gayle!!!! Karen S. Smith Trustee-At-Large, Ohio Genealogical Society Public Relations Chair, Ohio Genealogical Society Corresponding Secretary, Fairfield County Chapter OGS
