Dino candy sushi & a fen? Ross County's week got weird 🦕
Good morning, Ross County. Warren Buffett just cut ties with the Gates Foundation, the Supreme Court handed down a major ruling on presidential trade powers, and the CDC is tracking a food-linked illness outbreak now topping 1,600 cases nationwide — not exactly a slow news week. JPMorgan Chase, meanwhile, quietly posted record profits while the rest of us were watching the headlines.
On a much more enjoyable note, Ross County has a genuinely fun stretch ahead — live music with Stache & Hensley kicks off Tuesday, a fen exploration at Herron-Downs follows Wednesday for the nature lovers, and teens can try their hand at podcasting that same day. Fresh local listings are also waiting inside if you're in a browsing mood.
