Dinos, dinosaurs, and a fair drop you didn't see coming 🎡
Good morning, Ross County. Eighteen local students just got a serious head start on their futures — the 2026 scholarship class is named, and that's the kind of news worth lingering on over your morning coffee. On a rougher note, a three-vehicle crash with a car fire on US-23 North caused multiple injuries and major delays, so keep that in mind if you're heading that direction today.
On the brighter side of summer, the Ross County Fair hype train is officially leaving the station — and this week's promo gives you a taste of what's coming. If you need something sooner, the events calendar is stacked with Bilingual Wiggle Worms Storytime, a live Hey Alveh show, and a Dino Stop-Motion Animation workshop. Fresh local listings are inside too.
