Good morning, Meigs County. Fall is officially in full swing, and the Harvest Moon Festival is embracing the change with a one-day extravaganza this Saturday at Parkersburg's City Park. The reimagined event will pack extended hours from 9am to 7pm with everything from craft vendors to live music, proving that sometimes the best traditions are the ones that evolve. For just $5 admission, families can enjoy the festive atmosphere while supporting Wood County Recreation's youth programs.
Meanwhile, career opportunities are blossoming at Wood County Schools, where their recent job fair transformed into a one-stop employment shop for positions ranging from teachers to bus drivers. And for those seeking cultural enrichment, Artsbridge has curated a calendar bursting with artistic delights—from the Piccalilli Arts Conference to Susan Sheppard's spooky Haunted Parkersburg Tours, perfectly timed for the Halloween season that's creeping up on us.

☕️ What's Brewing Locally
💼 Wood County Schools turns job fair into one-stop employment shop. The annual event, held at the Caperton Center for Applied Technology, provided resources and assistance to approximately 50 job seekers interested in positions ranging from teachers to bus drivers. School personnel were on hand to answer questions, help with applications, and administer required tests for qualified candidates. While attendance was lower than previous years that saw 100-200 applicants, officials like Stephanie Cunningham called it a "convenient" way for potential employees to access all necessary materials in one place. Interested individuals can also apply online at the Wood County Schools website.
🎭 Artsbridge fills the week with arts and entertainment galore. The calendar features the Piccalilli Arts Conference at Parkersburg Art Center and numerous activities for all ages across local libraries. Weekend highlights include Saturday's Harvest Moon Festival, Dachshund Derby, and "Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors" at Actors Guild. Spooky season enthusiasts can enjoy Susan Sheppard's Haunted Parkersburg Tours and Putnam Street Ghost Trek. Sunday rounds out with a Food Truck Festival and West Virginia Symphony Orchestra performance.
🍂 Harvest Moon Festival shifts to one-day celebration this Saturday. The annual arts and crafts event at Parkersburg's City Park will run extended hours from 9am to 7pm near the Band Shell due to ongoing construction of a new recreation center. For $5 admission (children under 3 free), families can enjoy vendor booths, food trucks, a petting zoo, inflatables, and live performances from local acts including Insured Sound and the Lex Bouman Band. Proceeds support Wood County Recreation's youth activities, with organizers emphasizing it's a family-friendly event despite the format change.
