☕️ What's Brewing Locally
🌿 Clary Gardens invites children to explore nature's vibrant palette this summer. The "Exploring the Colors of Nature" program offers two age-specific classes every Tuesday starting May 27, costing just $1 per child with limited spots available. Participants will discover woodland areas, meet green frogs, learn about colorful rocks, and understand pollinators while tending to a vegetable garden throughout the season. A highlight will be the return of Midwest Falconry on June 3, with two free public shows featuring birds of prey. The program aims to foster environmental appreciation through hands-on experiences in gardening and wildlife observation.
🎓 Buckeye Career Center rewards 23 students with $2,500 scholarships.

🥎 Softball Scoreboard
West Holmes outlasted Wooster in a wild 10-9 barnburner that had more twists than a pretzel factory. The Knights improved to 5-7 with the narrow victory, while the Generals dropped to 2-9 in what can only be described as softball's version of a heart attack. These rivals won't have to wait long for the rematch, as they'll face off again Thursday in what promises to be another nail-biter.
