New royalty, a river comeback & prices hitting records 👀
Good morning, Meigs County. Crown on. The 163rd Meigs County Fair is officially open for business, with fresh royalty taking the grandstand throne Sunday night in Pomeroy. And if that's not enough to get your community calendar filling up fast, the Sternwheel Regatta is already warming its engines for a September 24th return to the riverfront — because apparently Meigs County doesn't believe in slow seasons.
While locals are planning their festival itineraries, the national news is keeping its usual hectic pace — diesel prices are climbing toward historic highs, states are squaring off against new tariffs in court, and the SEC just handed the crypto world a significant regulatory makeover. Fresh local real estate listings are also tucked inside, whenever you're ready to see what's moving around the county.
