Good morning, Clermont County. Sweet news is rolling into the region as Covington prepares to welcome professional candy makers for the Retail Confectioners International Convention this June. Local confectioners can score behind-the-scenes access to beloved establishments like Graeter's and Schneider's Sweet Shop for just $5 with a special promo code—a rare chance to unwrap industry secrets practically in their own backyard.

The summer fun continues as Campbell County launches its inaugural Jolly Good Paddlefest, transforming AJ Jolly Park into a water recreation paradise on June 7-8 with kayaking, canoeing and paddle boating across 200 acres of calm water. For those who prefer land-based entertainment, comedian Taylor Tomlinson is adding a third Cincinnati show at Taft Theatre after overwhelming demand nearly sold out her first two performances. The "Save Me Tour" stop now offers triple the opportunities to catch the "After Midnight" host live.
