A dog show at an egg fest? Columbus weekends are wild 🐾
Good morning, Franklin County. Turns out the cyclosporiasis outbreak sweeping 27 states has a silver lining for someone — local farmers market vendors, who are seeing a surge of shoppers eager to know exactly where their lettuce came from. Hard to blame them. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court blocked sweeping tariff powers, U.S.-Iran tensions are pushing gas back toward $4 a gallon, and Anthropic just cut a $1.5 billion check to settle an AI copyright lawsuit. Big week for the courts.
On a lighter note, Franklin County is serving up a solid weekend lineup — 10 Years Live hits Columbus Monday, Tech Takeover Tuesday raises funds for a good cause, and the Ohio State Fair rolls in Wednesday. Fresh property listings are also waiting in Real Estate if you're in the market.
