Postmark Pursuit by Molly Goad
Auglaize County in northwestern Ohio turned 175 years old on Feb. 14, and a postal cancellation was a part of the festivities.
On Feb. 14, nine post offices in the county used the hand cancellation with the artwork shown nearby. The imagery celebrates the area’s agricultural and aerospace heritage.
Designed by Wapakoneta Middle School sixth grader Ashtyn Kohler, the artwork won a competition held in the spring of 2022.
