Fredericktown Ohio Bike Path Virtual Ride Along Time Lapse Video by Knox County Ohio REALTOR Sam Miller

Monday, October 5, 2015
by Sam Miller

I took a ride on the Fredericktown, Ohio Bike Path and shot a complete time lapse video starting at the Fredericktown Community Park next to Sockman Lake and rode to the end of the path and then back to the park.  This time lapse video took a 10 minute bike ride and made it into a 2 minute quick video that is worth watching.  I hope you enjoy the ride.

This video is part of our ongoing 365 Things To Do in Knox County Ohio series.

Heart of Ohio Trail Bike and Walking Path Photo Taken Just Outside of Centerburg Ohio

Wednesday, September 2, 2015
by Sam Miller

Heart of Ohio Tour in Centerburg OhioI was on a real estate appointment this morning in village of Mount Liberty, Ohio which is located in the Centerburg Ohio School District between Mount Vernon and Centerburg on Route 3.  When I finished my appointment I drove around the neighborhood for a few minutes and parked at the Heart of Ohio Trail for a few minutes scouting for a great place to capture a new community photo.  If you are not familiar with the Hearth of Ohio Trail...visualize the Kokosing Gap Trail being located along route 3 and that will give you a good picture of what the Heart of Ohio Trail is like.  You can also view a short video of the Heart of Ohio Trail by clicking this link or by clicking on the embedded video within this page.

Tonight I Climbed The Rastin Observation Tower at Ariel Foundation Park

Thursday, August 20, 2015
by Sam Miller

knoxcountyohio.com/Blog/Tonight-I-Climbed-The-Rastin-Observation-Tower-at-Ariel-Foundation-ParkI had a small break between real estate appointments this evening and decided to swing over to the Ariel Foundation Park and give Rastin Observation Tower a try.  I can assure you that if you think it looks like a tall climb from the ground, it looks 10 times higher once you make it to the top of the tower and look down at the ground.  Heights really don't both me that much but walking up the stairs and looking straight down through the grid shaped steps is a very unique sensation and the higher you go the more intense the sensation gets.  It is kinda like looking down through a very cool winding cheese grater.   

knoxcountyohio.com/Blog/Tonight-I-Climbed-The-Rastin-Observation-Tower-at-Ariel-Foundation-ParkI would love to tell you that I made it to the top without breaking a sweat but the truth is that I stopped several times to catch my breath on the landing platforms.  On my journey to the top I passed a gentleman who was taking a break, we said hi and I continued on my way.  Once I made it to the top it wasn't 2 minutes later and that same man joined me at the top.  We officially introduced ourselves and he asked me how my grandmother was doing.  I told him she was doing spectacular.  He then proceeded to tell me that she SOLD him his home more than 40 years ago and he is still living in that same house.  The next words out of his mouth really impressed me.  "I am going to make it to the top of this tower without stopping for a break one of these days" he said.  I told him I stopped and took a break at 3 different spots and he said "4 for me but that's not bad for a 71 year old".  I was speechless and truly impressed with his excitement, energy and his goal of not stopping really inspired me!!!

Fireworks in Mount Vernon Ohio

Thursday, July 4, 2013
by Sam Miller

The Mount Vernon, Ohio community celebrated Independence Day with a spectacular fireworks display last night.  The sky was a perfect black backdrop which created an amazing contrast for the fireworks to come alive in the sky.  This length and intensity of fireworks being launched must have been in excess of years past because I shot over 300 photos and am sure I didn't capture half of the celebration with my camera.  Last night was a "WOW" experience in Mount Vernon, Ohio.

The Knox County Ohio Courthouse Clock Tower is one of the many gorgeous attractions that is located in Mount Vernon, Ohio on historic East High Street.  If you ever have a free afternoon you might consider taking a walk from the Mount Vernon Public Square and head east on High Street through the historical district.  Be sure to bring your camera because you won't believe your eyes because this street is filled with amazing architecture including homes that were built in the late 1800's and early 1900's.  This photo was taken by Sam Miller of REMAX Stars Realty 740-397-7800.  Knox County Ohio Real Estate.

On the edge of Mount Vernon, Ohio on Yauger Road you will find the Wolf Run Dog Park.  This is a really nice fenced dog park and Wolf Run is a great place for your dog to run and play freely.  We have taken our dog Chase to Wolf Run and he loves the wide open space so that he can run and he especially likes the lower and outer edge of the fenced area because there are trees and a nice wooded area.  If you are unfamiliar with exactly where Wolf Run Dog Park is located less than a mile from the corner / intersection of Yauger Road and Upper Gilchrist Road which is right by the Mount Vernon Ohio UEC Movie Theatre on the east side of Mount Vernon.  This feature article is part of our ongoing series titled 365 Things To Do in Knox County Ohio by Sam Miller.

Many will be surprised that we are featuring the Apple Valley Lake more than two months after the peak boating season is behind us.  We just couldn't pass up an opportunity to share with you something that most people at the Apple Valley Lake and most Knox County Ohio residents have NEVER seen before.  Each year in November the Apple Valley property owners association has their maintenance crew lower the lake level before the winter weather arrives.  This year we were at the Apple Valley Lake Spillway on November 15th at 7:30 a.m. to photo and shoot HD video of this event which only happens once a year.

The Tomato Show in Fredericktown, Ohio has a little something for everyone.  The Tomato Show is a small town street fair with a community parade, fair type amusement rides, food vendors, entertainment, a 5K run and some exciting competitions featuring local residents.  Some of my favorite featured activities are the bathtub races, the tomato toss, the lip sync contest, baby crawl races and the pedal tractor races.  There are arts and crafts and it is a great place to meet up with friends in a relaxed and casual atmostphere.  The Tomato Show is always held the first Wednesday - Saturday after Labor Day.
