This free event offers families a perfect opportunity to explore scientific concepts together—bubbling beakers and fascinating demonstrations await curious minds of all ages from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Meanwhile, a century of brotherhood deserves celebration as Ohio University's Theta Chi fraternity marks 100 years on campus. Since journalism school founder George Starr Lasher established the Alpha Tau chapter in 1925, generations of members have lived their motto to "Extend an assisting hand." As the community also remembers beloved Wellston resident John "Bandit" Bishop—known for his contagious humor and unwavering faith—we're reminded how both organizations and individuals leave lasting imprints on our county's heart.
