☕️ What's Brewing Locally
🔥 Wilkesville firefighters to host Fish Fry and Car Show fundraiser. The annual community event will take place on Saturday, July 26 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Wilkesville Volunteer Fire Department. Car enthusiasts can enjoy the show presented by the Jackson County Gear Grinders, while attendees feast on freshly prepared fish. The gathering serves as an important fundraiser for the local volunteer fire department while bringing the community together for a day of food and automotive appreciation.
🚗 Free online driver's license practice tests roll into Bossard Library. The Gallipolis, Ohio library now offers unlimited access to Driving-Tests.org, helping both new and experienced drivers prepare for DMV knowledge exams. The comprehensive platform includes official state manuals, practice tests for various license types, and an exam simulator that can be accessed from any computer or mobile device. Users who utilize both the practice tests and manual are 73% more likely to pass their driving test than those who only study the manual. Library Director Debbie Saunders hopes this resource will help patrons successfully obtain their driver's licenses, whether accessed at the library or from home.
