​

Good morning, Cuyahoga County. The final weekend of the county fair took an unexpected turn when gunfire disrupted Saturday night festivities, though officials have confirmed the event will proceed with its closing day as planned. This incident comes alongside news of a devastating fire in Cleveland's West Boulevard neighborhood that sent two women to the hospital and displaced multiple residents, with the Red Cross now stepping in to provide assistance to those affected.

History buffs and adventure seekers have something to celebrate as America 250-Ohio unveiled an ambitious new trail connecting Lake Erie to the Ohio River. This 150-stop journey showcases Northeast Ohio treasures like the USS Cod and Cleveland Museum of Natural History, transforming historic waterways once known as "highways of hope" into pathways for modern exploration. It's the organization's third "experiential trail," with three more planned in the coming months.
