Ribbon cut on Walmart refurb

Walmart cut the ribbon on a major updating of the Van Wert Supercenter on Friday morning. The local store also donated $3,250 to area organizations, including the Niswonger Performing Arts Center, Wren Community Chest, The Salvation Army, the Hot Air Festival and the Van Wert County Sheriff’s Auxiliary for its Christmas children’s shopping event.
