From River Roots' single-barrel bourbons to Noble Cut's Limecello, this passport program offers more than just a taste of local craftsmanship—it's a journey through Ohio's liquid artistry, complete with exclusive merchandise and special discounts for those who check in along the way.

Meanwhile, autumn traditions continue with the 174th Coshocton County Fair running through October 2, where $15 daily admission grants access to everything from draft horse shows to heart-pounding motocross.
