A local glove just went national — and that's just the start 🧤
Good morning, Ross County. Chillicothe is having a real moment — a locally made glove product just landed national attention, the Kenworth Truck Parade is rolling back into downtown for round two, and night swims are returning to the city pool. That's manufacturing pride, summer nostalgia, and a reason to stay out past dark all in one week. Not bad for a Tuesday.
On the national front, Fox is buying Roku for $22 billion, SpaceX is now worth a trillion dollars (yes, trillion), and Pizza Hut just changed hands for $2.7 billion — streaming, rockets, and delivery pizza apparently being the three pillars of the modern economy. Tonight's events calendar has Teen Retro Throwback Night and The Tippy Live Concert calling your name, and fresh local listings are waiting inside.
