Your weekend has a float trip AND a glow paddle calling your name 🌊
Good morning, Meigs County. Lights, camera, action — Meigs County is about to get its Hollywood moment. The "Ohio Goes to the Movies" celebration is rolling into Pomeroy, Middleport, and beyond with free family-friendly events that give everyone an easy excuse to step outside and enjoy something together. Consider it your local summer blockbuster, no ticket required.
Meanwhile, the national headlines are a bit of a thriller themselves — fresh trade tensions with China, U.S.-Iran flare-ups rattling Hormuz shipping lanes, and a choppy job market somehow finding its footing. If you'd rather skip the drama, the Ohio River has a better screenplay this weekend: a Tube Float and a Sunset Glow Night Paddle on the agenda. Fresh real estate listings and some smart impulse-spending tips are waiting inside too.
