Good morning, Meigs County. Half-price pickleball, buy-one-get-one art classes, and honey so fresh you can watch it being made – our community calendar is buzzing with activity as summer winds down. Village Productions in Amesville is making creativity more accessible with their "Bring a Friend Week," offering current students a chance to introduce friends to the arts without the financial barrier, while newcomers can split the already affordable $8 fee during the August 25-29 promotion.
The spirit of inclusion extends beyond Amesville as the Southeastern Ohio Center for Independent Living launches an adaptive pickleball league for disabled players of all ages starting September 2. And speaking of sweet community gatherings, don't miss this weekend's Honey Festival at City Park, where $5 grants you access to bee education programs, the famous "bee beard" display, children's activities, and honey from over 40 vendors – proving our region truly is the place to bee.
