Good morning, Powell. Mark your calendars for July 26, 2025—Plain City's beloved Rock the Clock festival is returning with country star Dylan Scott headlining the festivities. Since 2017, this signature event has transformed Uptown's charming streets into a celebration of music, food, and community spirit. With tickets starting at just $20 (and free entry for the little ones), it's shaping up to be next summer's can't-miss musical gathering.
In a significant development for healthcare access, Memorial Hospital has launched a 24/7 Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner program, bringing critical services to Union County survivors who previously faced difficult journeys to neighboring counties. Meanwhile, Ohio's fourth graders have something special to look forward to this summer—America 250-Ohio is offering free State Fair admission with the History Pass, connecting young Ohioans to their state's heritage ahead of America's upcoming 250th birthday celebration in 2026.

64%☕️ What's Brewing Locally
🎵 Plain City's Rock the Clock festival returns with country star Dylan Scott. The popular music event, hosted by The Grainery since 2017, will take place on July 26, 2025, with gates opening at 1 p.m. Tickets are priced at $20 for general admission and $75 for VIP access, with free entry for children under 10. Beyond the music, attendees can enjoy food trucks, vendors, and kids' activities throughout Uptown Plain City's charming streets. Festival organizers encourage online ticket purchases and strict wristband enforcement to ensure a smooth experience for all.
🏥 Sexual assault survivors finally get vital care close to home. Memorial Hospital has established a new 24/7 Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) program in Union County, eliminating the need for victims to travel to surrounding counties for forensic exams. The program features specially trained nurses who provide trauma-informed care while collecting evidence and offering emotional support. This collaborative effort between the hospital, prosecutor's office, law enforcement, and victim advocates addresses a critical gap in local services. Community leaders emphasize that this program represents a commitment to ensuring victims are heard, supported, and given every resource needed for justice and healing.
🎡 Ohio fourth graders get free state fair admission with history pass.

To participate, families must purchase admission at the Ohio State Fair entrance located outside the Ohio History Center.
