​

Good morning, Preble County. The skies above West Alexandria are about to erupt with color as the community's epic July 4th celebration takes shape. The day-long Party in the Park promises something for everyone—from vendors and food trucks to a car show culminating in a lighted parade and fireworks finale. It's just one of several Independence Day spectacles lighting up our region, with Englewood and Hueston Woods also joining the patriotic festivities.

Meanwhile, a dramatic rescue unfolded on Camden Sugar Valley Road when emergency crews rushed to free someone pinned beneath a tractor. The swift response from Camden Somers-Township Fire & EMS teams, alongside units from Eaton and Gasper Township, demonstrated the remarkable coordination of our first responders. The victim was airlifted to a trauma hospital, a sobering reminder of both the dangers of farm equipment and the dedication of those who answer emergency calls.
