 After our first visit to Troy, Ohio, I created a web page which was discovered by some of the nice people in Troy, Ohio. A pleasant exchange of e-mails led us to return for a second visit during the 2002 Strawberry Festival. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express and we met the head housekeeper and her family at the Friday night parade. All of the citizens of Troy that we met were friendly and helpful and seemed to be quite happy to be living in Troy, Ohio.
