Good morning, Muskingum County. April is bringing more than just spring showers to our region. Starting Monday, expect some road disruptions as TGS Seismic begins 60 days of work across Guernsey County, deploying vibratory trucks and helicopters for seismographic surveys. While motorists should plan for delays, the good news is local museums are seeking volunteer tour guides for their upcoming season – a perfect opportunity to showcase our rich heritage to visitors.
Meanwhile, young innovators have something exciting on the horizon as Camp Invention returns to Larry Miller Intermediate School this June. The STEM-focused summer program will transform K-6 students into road-tripping creators, illusion masters, arcade builders, and even Antarctic explorers. With local educators leading these hands-on activities, our community's children will join 140,000 nationwide in building critical problem-solving skills while having a blast during those long summer days.
