Good morning, Muskingum County. The aroma of authentic Mexican cuisine will soon be wafting through Maple Avenue as Victor's Taco Shop prepares for its grand opening on September 11. With hot Cheetos burritos and surf-and-turf options on the menu, this marks the chain's newest location among its 15 Ohio outposts. Ten lucky residents will score an exclusive first taste during the September 10 soft opening – a Facebook contest that's already generating buzz alongside the restaurant's hiring push.
From tacos to big wheels, our community embraced the playful side of adulthood at the Mill Event Center's "Wheel Good Times for Wheelie Good Causes" fundraiser. Teams from the Lancaster Police Department to the Downtown Bananas navigated wayward straw bales and broken seats in the name of charity. Meanwhile, Fairfield Union's Land Lab transformed into a family destination where youngsters cast fishing lines while blacksmith Doug Ferbrache demonstrated traditional craftsmanship – proving our county knows how to blend education with good old-fashioned fun.
