Remembering Greyson Yoe

It's difficult to believe that it's been nearly five years since Greyson Yoe was shocked while waiting for a ride at the Lake County Fair in Painesville Township.

In the years since his injury and subsequent death, Ohio lawmakers and Greyson's parents, Bill and Audra Yoe, have worked tirelessly to help ensure that nothing like this happens to another fairgoer.

Join The News-Herald on Sunday and Monday as we look back over what happened that brutally hot August 2003 day and learn how much has been done to make the fairs that take place around Ohio so much safer.

It will be a multimedia package, offering content both in the newspaper and on our new Web site. On the Web, you'll hear Greyson's parents discuss his life and times and the events of Aug. 13, 2003, when he was injured while waiting for the bumper-car ride. In the newspaper you'll learn how legislation was created to protect all of us.
