Good morning, Pickaway County. The iconic red barns of rural Ohio are getting their moment in the spotlight this May as artist Robert Kroeger brings approximately 25 paintings of Pickaway's historic barns to ArtsaRound Gallery. The month-long exhibition kicks off May 2nd with a reception where art lovers can hear the stories behind these weathered landmarks while supporting local arts programs—a perfect blend of heritage preservation and community enrichment.
Meanwhile, visitors to Pickaway County will find a more welcoming first impression thanks to the newly refreshed Welcome Center, complete with a 24/7 information kiosk and enhanced interior spaces. The community-driven project continues the county's tradition of hospitality, much like the annual FFA breakfast that had dedicated students arriving at 5 a.m. to serve hungry neighbors earlier this month. From dawn risers flipping pancakes to barn painters preserving history, Pickaway's community spirit continues to shine.

🍳 Local FFA chapters unite for beloved community breakfast tradition. Logan Elm FFA, along with Teays Valley, Circleville, and Westfall chapters, hosted their annual community breakfast on April 2nd.

The Logan Elm FFA expressed gratitude to everyone who attended and supported their chapter at this well-anticipated tradition.
