​

Good morning, Pike County. The vintage charm of The Riser Barn transformed into a magical setting last Friday as Pickaway Ross tech students twirled across the dance floor during their prom celebration. While couples captured 360-degree selfie videos and posed for rustic-backdrop photos, these young adults weren't just celebrating a milestone—they were creating memories that will outlast their high school yearbooks. Sometimes life's most meaningful moments happen under string lights and rafters.

Musical celebrations continue as the 27th annual Spring Jubilee returns to Lucasville Monday, bringing five nights of nationally-known Gospel performers to the Scioto County Fairgrounds. Meanwhile, on the courts, Chillicothe boys tennis has clinched their second straight conference championship with a perfect league record. Their 14-3 overall season proves that excellence isn't just about winning—it's about consistency that transforms talent into championship material.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
