Pike County • July 11, 2025
Good morning, Pike County. They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky โ and they're coming to Bainbridge! The iconic Addams Family is getting the youth theater treatment at Paxton Theatre from July 11-13, with local talents like Liam Morgan as Gomez and Riley Griffin as Wednesday bringing the beloved characters to life. This youth-tailored production centers on Wednesday's romance with a young man from a "normal" family, promising plenty of macabre humor and musical numbers that showcase our community's rising stars.
Meanwhile, the future of Vinton County hangs in the balance as community leaders prepare to prioritize crucial funding projects on July 15. From conservation initiatives to broadband expansion, the upcoming caucus meeting at McArthur's Commissioner's Office will determine which proposals advance to the Ohio Valley Regional Development Commission. While only caucus members can vote, the public is welcome to witness this important community planning session that could shape the region's development for years to come.
