πŸ• Pizza trail adventure

Pickaway County • February 19, 2025

​

Good morning, Pickaway County. Move over, Route 66 - there's a new trail blazing through Ohio, and this one's covered in cheese and pepperoni. The launch of our epic thirteen-stop Pizza Trail has local foodies mapping their carb-laden adventures across the county, turning dinner plans into treasure hunts complete with passport stamps and prizes. It's like Pokemon Go for pizza lovers, minus the need to catch anything (except maybe a falling olive).

While pizza enthusiasts plot their delicious journeys, local property owners are getting an unexpected extension on their tax deadlines thanks to a technical hiccup at the auditor's office. And in a sobering reminder about hunting safety, a recent accident near State Route 22 proves that even the most routine outings require careful attention - though we're thankful the story ends with swift emergency response rather than tragedy.
