MOUNT VICTORY — The Friendly Antique Town changed its name to Buckeye Victory in honor of the Ohio State vs. University of Oregon National Championship game Monday.
Though the name change was only temporary, the Mayor of the Village of Mount Victory Mike Trout and village council members were inspired to change the name.
Trout said the idea of changing the name resonated with many town residents, so on Saturday at the monthly council meeting, they made an official proclamation to name the village Village of Buckeye Victory only for Sunday, Jan. 11 and Monday, Jan. 12. The village resumed their name Tuesday.
