🏊 Making a splash

Muskingum County • September 15, 2025

Local Brew Logo
​

Good morning, Muskingum County. A $300,000 investment is making waves in Southeast Ohio as the region's Health and Wellness Foundation funds Cambridge Area YMCA's new indoor aquatic center. Far more than just a pool, this facility represents a vital commitment to community well-being, offering year-round exercise opportunities and potentially life-saving swimming lessons for residents of all ages and abilities. The foundation's largest investment to date underscores their mission of fostering health in the everyday spaces where we live and connect.

September's community calendar is overflowing with important dates to circle. Shannon Valley Road closes for 21 days starting September 15 for bridge work, while Coshocton County Road 6 will see daily closures for tree trimming. Mark your calendars for New Lexington's Ultimate Family Fun Day on September 20, and note that Lorena Sternwheeler rides are temporarily suspended due to low water levels. Meanwhile, veterans can claim free Coshocton County Fair passes through September 25 with proper ID.
