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.

0%☕️ What's Brewing Locally
🍕 Pickaway County launches epic pizza trail with thirteen mouthwatering stops. The new initiative invites food lovers to explore local pizzerias across the region, collecting stamps in their Pizza Trail Passport along the way. Participants who visit eight or more locations can earn special prizes while supporting family-owned businesses. From Beck's Garage to Watt St. Tavern, the trail showcases diverse pizza styles and local flavors. The program, sponsored by Coughlin Automotive and others, encourages social sharing with #PickawayPizzaTrail.
💰 Technical glitch forces Pickaway County to push back tax deadline. Property owners in the Ohio county now have until March 14, 2025, to pay their taxes after system issues delayed processing at the auditor's office. Residents should expect to receive their delayed tax bills this week. The county treasurer's website has been updated with the new deadline and current tax information. Taxpayers can visit picktreasurer.org to make payments or find additional details.
🎯 Hunting trip turns tragic as man accidentally shoots own foot. The incident occurred on February 14 at a state wildlife area near State Route 22 in Pickaway County, Ohio, prompting a rapid emergency response. Life Flight airlifted the victim, Gabrielle Rivera, to Grant Hospital after the accidental gun discharge during a rabbit hunting excursion. Multiple agencies responded to the scene, including ODNR officers, game wardens, and local law enforcement. The Ohio Division of Wildlife is leading the ongoing investigation into the hunting accident on state-owned property.

London showed they're more than just a pretty train station, outdueling Circleville 61-52 in a non-league clash that saw both teams' records move to 13-9. The Red Raiders' balanced attack proved too much for the Tigers, who'll look to bounce back against Gallia Academy's Blue Devils later this week.
