Wednesday's packed — and one surprise involves monster trucks 🤯
Good morning, Ross County. Scholarship money, trail updates, and a Walk MS event making its way through local facilities — it's a week that feels genuinely community-minded from top to bottom. The Gates Foundation-Ross County Scholar's Fund just named its 2026 recipients, which is exactly the kind of news worth pausing on. And if you're a regular on the Paint Creek Recreational Trail, there's a fresh update inside worth checking before you lace up.
Nationally, the Fed held interest rates steady under its new chair, Apple is bringing chip manufacturing back to U.S. soil, and Jeremy Clarkson dropped a genuinely surprising personal announcement on "Clarkson's Farm." Closer to home, Wednesday is stacked — Kids Papermaking, Tecumseh!, and free vision exams all land on June 18. Fresh local listings are waiting inside too.
