Good morning, Gallia County. Spring has officially arrived at Gritt's Farm, where a kaleidoscope of 20,000 tulips now blanket the fields in vibrant color. The festival running through April 13 transforms Buffalo into a floral paradise, complete with family-friendly attractions and farm-fresh food that capture the essence of the season's renewal—a perfect weekend destination as warmer days finally settle in across the region.
Meanwhile, as one chapter closes, another begins at the Gallia County Board of Developmental Disabilities, where Melinda Kingery's remarkable 25-year career draws to a close this July. Her legacy of securing accessibility grants and developing community resources will continue under Laura Johnson's leadership. For those seeking intellectual enrichment closer to home, Bossard Library's April programming lineup offers everything from Civil War discussions with local historian Gene Huffman to gardening workshops, reinforcing its role as the county's cultural cornerstone.
