Good morning, Powell. From farm to fairgrounds, North Union FFA's poultry team has hatched impressive results at the state competition, securing a spot in the top 15. These agricultural stars evaluated live chickens, rated meat products, and graded eggs with precision, while their middle school counterparts placed an even more impressive 5th overall. The event showcases how these young agriculturalists are developing skills that will serve them well beyond the barnyard.

Meanwhile, thrill-seekers can mark their calendars for May when Ohio's first Slick City Action Park slides into the Polaris area. This massive 35,000-square-foot entertainment venue will feature a dozen waterless slides and air courts for dodgeball and basketball enthusiasts. With a dedicated toddler area and event space included, this rapidly expanding attraction promises a fresh entertainment option for Powell families looking for adventure without getting wet.
