Muskingum County • October 6, 2025
Good morning, Muskingum County. The buzz of tattoo machines filled Marietta's Tower Event Center this weekend as the Bizarre Bazaar transformed into a hub of artistic expression. With 30 artists and 10 shops gathered under one roof, including Zanesville's own Red Rose Tattoo celebrating their 10-year milestone, nearly 100 enthusiasts turned out just on opening day to add some permanent artwork to their personal collections.
On the sports front, the Tornadoes showed their resilience on the gridiron, overcoming a sluggish start to dominate Crooksville 34-12 with a particularly impressive second-half surge. While the team celebrates their victory, early risers throughout the region are navigating through morning fog banks before temperatures climb to a summer-like 81 degrees today—a full 10 degrees above historical averages. Just remember to pack some moisturizer, as the persistent drought conditions continue to leave skin feeling parched despite the pleasant weather.
