Good morning, Powell. After half a century of styling Columbus residents, Kenneth's Hair Salons stands as a testament to beauty innovation and business ingenuity. What began as one man's vision has blossomed into 10 thriving locations where every employee is now an owner—a revolutionary approach that transformed not just hairstyles but lives. As Kenneth's plans further expansion in 2025, their enduring philosophy that "Everyone Deserves to Feel Beautiful" continues to resonate throughout central Ohio.
The Delaware County community is honoring legacies of different kinds this week. Letha Gibson, the fiercely independent 88-year-old Marion resident and former Elbow Bar owner, leaves behind generations of family and cherished memories after her peaceful passing. Meanwhile, the Delaware County District Library is swapping garden tools for test tubes as they launch an impressive lineup of spring STEAM programming—from Putt-Putt Architects for kids to the Mystery on Main Street event coming to First Friday on May 2.

84%☕️ What's Brewing Locally
🕊️ Small-town bar owner Letha Gibson leaves behind a rich legacy. The 88-year-old Marion resident died peacefully on April 15, 2025, surrounded by family. Known for operating the Elbow Bar in Richwood and her fiercely independent spirit, Gibson had previously lived near Lake Erie for many years. She is survived by three children, four grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren, one great-great-granddaughter, and two siblings. Funeral services will be held Friday at Stofcheck-Ballinger Funeral Home with burial planned for a later date.
💇♀️ Kenneth's Hair Salons celebrates 50 years of beauty innovation in Columbus. What began as one man's vision to modernize hair care has grown into 10 thriving locations offering award-winning salon and spa services. Founder Kenneth Anders revolutionized the local beauty industry by introducing precision cutting techniques, spa services, and even medical beauty treatments. In a groundbreaking move, Anders sold the company to employees through an ESOP in 2007, making every staff member an owner. With new expansions planned for 2025, Kenneth's continues its mission that "Everyone Deserves to Feel Beautiful."
🔬 Delaware library springs into STEAM, not gardening this year. The Delaware County District Library is hosting a range of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math activities for all ages this spring. Programs include Putt-Putt Architects for kids, the Whiz Bang Science Show for families, and Maker Studio classes for adults. The library is partnering with COSI for the 2025 Science Festival, culminating in a Mystery on Main Street event at Delaware's First Friday on May 2. Gardening enthusiasts can still find resources through the library's collection of new books on sustainable and waterwise gardening techniques.
