During Tyler's time in the hospital, his family was able to stay close to him at the Ronald McDonalds Houses. Tyler's friends in Archbold and Van Wert wanted to help out in anyway they could but besides making meals, gas cards and the never-ending prayers they still wanted to do more. Van Wert was challenged by family friends in Archbold to a TAB WAR! This way, not only did we come together for Tyler's honor, we are paying forward and helping other families.
Well the TAB WAR between Archbold and Van Wert is coming to a close. The final count will be held on Saturday October 25 @ 12:00 at the McDonald's Playplace on Shannon St. Tabs can be collected up until Friday October 24 at the Smelser's house, 421 South Ave. till noon or at each of the schools. Van Wert has really worked hard at collecting and will keep collecting after the war for this great cause.
Ronald McDonald will be there to announce the winner. He will also be available for autographs, pictures and perform some magic! Everyone is welcome!

Okay Archbold. We need to gather all of our tabs to make sure we win this war!!!!Looks like Van Wert is making a great effort, but I know we can shut them out!!!!I think that Tyler should wear the winning teams Colors for the Day. Get your Blue and Gold ready Tyler.
Go Bluestreaks!!!!!
ALL tabs count - canned beverages, food cans like soup, pet food. Ronald McDonald Houses collect pop tabs instead of entire aluminum cans because the tabs are pure high-quality aluminum, unlike cans, which consist of aluminum and other alloys. Tabs are also easier to store than whole cans. One pound of tabs is worth 57 cents, and one gallon of pop tabs (4,175 tabs) is worth $1.49.
It will be a sea of scarlet & grey that day!
GO COUGARS!
Looks like Van Wert has quite the showing IF those barrels are full. Point of clarification: a shut out requires one side to have none. Even if Van Wert would win the tab war, at least Archbold would have won the war of exclamation points.
Ty is currently a member of the Van Wert 7th grade football team,and his teammates will be there supporting him that day.
Just a reminder.....this is a friendly competition and regardless of who wins it's great that this competition is helping out such a benificial organization.
