Stuffed animals sleeping over & plants you can eat 🌿👀
Good morning, Meigs County. Flu season doesn't wait for anyone, and neither is the Meigs County Health Department — drive-thru shots are rolling in Pomeroy this week, with evening clinics added for the nine-to-fivers among us. Getting a flu shot has never required less effort, which means there's really no excuse this year. On the national front, Wall Street ended the week in a good mood after a soft jobs report took some pressure off rate-hike fears, and a $22.6 billion software deal reminded everyone that big money is still moving.
Beyond the headlines, October's calendar is filling up fast — Dragon Tales Book Club, a housing event worth knowing about, and Not Your Mama's Book Club are all on deck. Fresh real estate listings are inside too, if browsing is your kind of weekend sport.
