On June 8, 2000, Fostoria, Ohio was all abuzz with excitement for the Norton Manufacturing Company’s 50^th Anniversary Crankshaft Extravaganza and Job Fair.  Early in the day, the Norton Human Resources Department held a job fair, which brought out over 100 applicants.  There, the potential employees filled out applications, were tested, and toured the factories.  Then, around 3:00 p.m., all of the Norton Manufacturing employees were invited over for a car show and dinner.  Featured in the show were two Dodge Vipers, one yellow Hummer, a Dodge Ram V-10 pick-up, a John Deere tractor, numerous classic cars, and a few sprint cars. Rick Norton, the president of Norton Manufacturing Company, gave a speech about the anniversary and what the employees mean to him.  Having this, a DJ, all of the cars, and good food, the Crankshaft Extravaganza was a huge success.
