Good morning, Jackson County. The old saying "when it rains, it pours" took on a whole new meaning at the Vinton County Courthouse Friday, as a mysterious wave of illness sent staff and visitors heading for the exits faster than teenagers at a parent-chaperoned dance. While the building undergoes its weekend spa treatment (aka thorough sanitization), we're all crossing our fingers for a Monday morning comeback.
On a brighter note, opportunity is knocking at Buckeye Hills Career Center, where the upcoming Adult Education Open House is rolling out the welcome mat for dream-chasers and career-switchers alike. And speaking of reunions, Wellston High alumni are gathering this Sunday to plan what promises to be the mother of all banquets - though hopefully with better food than we remember from our cafeteria days.
