VINCENT — A recent renovation project has garnered quite a bit of local interest and even nationwide fame. Tanya and Shane Harrison, of Vincent, discovered circus posters from August 1910 while uncovering the side of a building she plans to use for a fabric store. The posters advertise the Ringling Bros. circus coming to town.
