🎨 Art that pops

Pickaway County • February 28, 2025

​

Good morning, Pickaway County. Mark your calendars, job seekers - our community's economic engine is revving up for what promises to be the employment event of the year. With the Chamber of Commerce and Workforce Partnership joining forces for a major job fair this March, it's like speed dating for careers, minus the awkward small talk. And speaking of new opportunities, AutoZone's decision to plant roots between Taco Bell and Sheetz in South Bloomfield adds another gear to our growing business corridor.

Meanwhile, local fifth-grader Mackenzie Davis is proving that artistic talent knows no age limit. Her environmental artwork didn't just win a four-county billboard contest - it's about to turn Routes 138 and 28 into the area's largest art gallery. Take that, Metropolitan Museum of Art!
