Good morning, Hocking County. Mark your calendars and dust off those Halloween decorations—Perry County's beloved Trunk or Treat tradition has found new life at the fairgrounds. What was once a 1,500-child celebration hosted by Hopewell Health Center will continue its 21-year legacy on October 15 thanks to quick action from the New Lexington Police Department and generous community partners. The 6-8pm event promises to maintain its festive spirit despite the venue change.

And for civic-minded residents, Perry County has published a comprehensive October meeting schedule spanning from the 8th through the 29th, covering everything from County Commissioners to local school boards—ensuring everyone has the opportunity to stay informed and engaged with local governance.
