Hi, my name is Josiah Wolfenbarter. I play football at Campbellsville University. If someone had never been to my hometown, the way I would characterize it is as homey. There's people all around you that are caring and loving people, and there's also a ton going on. There's events like Light Up a Grange. During Halloween, there's Trunk or Treats. There's community outreach events at the local churches. And the staple of our town is the fact that we have a train go straight through the town. And there's buildings, there's businesses on either side of the tracks. One of those places is a place called La Grange Coffee Roasters, which is one of the most staple parts of our town is that coffee store. And I always loved going there with my brothers when I was younger, going to that coffee store and drinking coffee that I didn't really like. It's memorable because you're able to walk through the streets and not necessarily know everybody. There's enough people there that you wouldn't know everybody, but it is tight-knit enough that it wouldn't be like you're strangers. You would be able to go and talk to those people and meet those people, and it wouldn't be super difficult to do that. La Grange is a great place, and I love it, and it's shaped the way that I live my life. This is Josiah Wolfenbarter.
