A $3M sale + puppies, tea, and glowing dance floors 🕺
Good morning, Delaware County. Seven local students just pocketed $11,000 in Farm Bureau scholarships — proof that Delaware County's next generation is as rooted in this community as ever. From Ohio State to Cedarville, these kids are heading places, and one of them is already sitting on the Farm Bureau board. Meanwhile, the county's real estate market is making serious noise, with a $3.175 million Bridlespur Lane sale turning heads — and even drawing a luxury brokerage all the way from Los Angeles. Apparently, word's out about Delaware County.
On the global front, Ford, Toyota, and OPEC+ are all making big moves worth knowing about. And locally, the week ahead has something for everyone — Golden Girls Afternoon Tea, family storytime, and fresh listings in Real Estate if that luxury market has you curious.
