Holmes County • April 14, 2025
Good morning, Holmes County. As April unfolds across our community, change is in the air—and not just in the seasonal sense. Loudonville-Perrysville Schools is unveiling its revised facility plan with a community meeting on April 17, giving residents a chance to see how their feedback has shaped a more cost-effective approach to the district's future. Meanwhile, tree trimmers are making their presence known, with scheduled work affecting both County Road 56 in Tuscarawas County and Main Street in Coshocton.
The calendar is filling up with opportunities to connect, from Big Brothers Big Sisters' upcoming Lunch and Learn to Coshocton's "Coffee with a Doc" on brain health. Cultural achievements are blooming too—congratulations to Jensen Hayes on winning the Edward E. Montgomery Jr. Piano competition and to those talented Buckeye Career Center students who earned top honors at the Ohio SkillsUSA State Championships. Spring in Holmes County certainly isn't lacking in community spirit!
