Kids printing buildings & a stamp stomp? Your week just got weird 🎨
Good morning, Meigs County. Homecoming weekends don't get much better than that — a 49-6 blowout Friday night, alumni pouring back into Pomeroy along the Ohio River for Reunion on the River, and a dance to close it all out. The Marauders delivered, the food trucks showed up, and downtown had its moment. Meanwhile, some Southern High School students in Racine are literally 3D-printing the future of construction through Project RISE, which is the kind of story that makes you feel genuinely good about what's coming next.
On the national front, Wall Street is riding chipmaker enthusiasm to fresh highs, and global diplomacy is keeping everyone on their toes. Once you've caught up on the headlines, the events calendar has needlework, a Stamp Stomp, and a book club to ease you into the week — plus fresh real estate listings inside.
