Good morning, Gallia County. Mark your calendars and plan accordingly! The Meigs County Vital Statistics Office is hitting pause on birth and death certificate services this Wednesday morning for a system upgrade. The temporary halt from 8am to noon on August 6 coincides with a statewide transition to a new records system—and brings a modest fee increase from $25 to $27 per certificate. If you need these documents, you'll want to avoid that morning window or call ahead to confirm when services resume that afternoon.
Meanwhile, the scientific minds of tomorrow are gearing up for an exciting opportunity as the COSI Roadshow rolls into Gallia County on August 4. Middle and high school students will dive into hands-on STEM activities at the Holzer Leadership & Innovation Institute, with public demonstrations scheduled for 11:30 a.m. This marks the third stop in COSI's regional tour bringing interactive science education directly to Appalachian Ohio communities—potentially inspiring future careers right here at home.
