Fatal fire at harness track in Ohio

Two people and 60 horses were killed in a barn fire early this morning in Lebanon, Ohio, at a fairgrounds harness racing facility.
Heartfelt condolences to our fellow horsemen.

The horse toll is 43 and 2 men died. They arent sure if they were workers or just people staying there. I was just there last Saturday as it is about 15 minutes from my house and alot of our 4-Hers show here. How very said and my condolences to the families of the deceased men.
