This is the time of year when Ohio residents long for an escape from the cold and snow, to someplace where it's summer. 

Recently, area residents Christina and Nathan Seidner did just that with a eight-day mission trip to Uruguay. Nathan is an Ohio Northern University mechanical engineering graduate who is employed at Grob, Bluffton.

The couple are members of First Assembly of God in Lima. They took part in a mission that included 17 others, including members at churches from Findlay, Wapakoneta and Leipsic.

Although it was Nathan's first trip out of the U.S., this was not so for Christina, who had traveled to Peru previously on a mission trip.

Over 20 Rhythm In Motion Dance Centre' dancers participated in the ONU 2013 Dance Clinic with the ONU Northern Stars dance team on Feb. 9.  

Over 100 dancers participated to a medley of One Direction during the event.
 
RIMDC dancers range in ages 5-18 and are from Ada, Bluffton, Allen East, Cory-Rawson and Kenton.  

The girls took class from ONU students and dancers from 11:30-2:20 p.m., putting the final product together at the 3 p.m. ONU men's basketball game against Mount Union.  

Most of these dancers from Rhythm In Motion will be performing center court on March 28 at Quickens Loans Arena, Cleveland, prior to the Cavs versus 76ers game.
