Good morning, Pickaway County. The 1970s are making a colorful comeback in Central Ohio! From Des Moines' upcoming "Mrs. Roper Romp" to Circleville's recent rain-soaked pub crawl, flamboyant kaftans and curly wigs are transforming downtown streets into nostalgic celebrations. These Three's Company-inspired gatherings aren't just about fashion statements – they're bringing communities together while supporting worthy causes like the Des Moines Food Bank through costume contests and karaoke festivities.
Meanwhile, as egg prices continue their upward climb, resourceful Circleville residents are turning to a time-honored solution right in their backyards. With local laws permitting urban poultry, more families are joining the millions of Americans raising chickens for their impressive egg production and educational benefits. From simple setups to elaborate custom coops, these feathered investments are proving that sustainability can be both practical and entertaining for households throughout our community.

☕️ What's Brewing Locally
👗 Grab your kaftans for Des Moines' first-ever 'Mrs. Roper Romp'! The '70s-themed celebration, presented by Kaihana Sushi, invites community members to dress as the iconic "Three's Company" character on May 10, 2025. Participants can join the festivities downtown from noon to 4 p.m., complete with curly wigs and loud patterns. The event includes a costume contest for those who bring food donations to support the Des Moines Food Bank. The celebration concludes with "Roper Romp Karaoke" at Kaihana starting at 4 p.m.
🍹 Costumed ladies braved rain for downtown Circleville pub crawl fun. The 2nd Annual Mrs. Roper's Pub Crawl attracted women from across Central Ohio despite light drizzle last Saturday. Participants from Grove City, Bucyrus, Lancaster, Columbus and more took full advantage of the Downtown Outdoor Refreshment Area. When asked about their motivation, one participant summed it up perfectly: "We get to play 'dress up' like when we were little girls and go have fun."
🐔 Egg prices soar, and Circleville residents hatch backyard chicken plans. Thanks to local laws permitting poultry within city limits, more families are joining the 11 million U.S. households already raising chickens. These feathered friends produce an impressive 250-300 eggs annually, especially during warmer months, while also providing educational value for children. Beyond egg production, chickens contribute garden-friendly manure and teach kids responsibility. With setup costs ranging from a few hundred dollars to more elaborate custom coops, chickens may soon rival traditional pets in Circleville backyards.
