Grant Adams: Why am I “obnoxiously proud” to be a Meigs County native? Where to begin. As a kid who grew up in Rutland, graduated from Meigs High School, and was raised by two hard-working, blue-collar, dedicated parents, I feel that I am purely a product of Meigs County. As a young man, I was taught by my entire family that to succeed in life you must be honest with everyone, caring to those around you, and willing to work harder than anyone else in the room, as well as the idea that everyone, no matter who you are, deserves a fair shot. I am obnoxiously proud to be a Meigs County native because of who we are and what we aspire to be. Being from Meigs County is not about being from a specific place, but it’s a way of acting. From Salem Center to Pomeroy to Long Bottom and everywhere in between, there is a culture and a pride that makes me obnoxiously proud to be from this great county.
