Ross County • February 21, 2025
Good morning, Ross County. Move over, Nashville - Chillicothe's music scene is hitting all the right notes with five distinct venues serving up everything from folk to heavy metal. From the speakeasy vibes at Steiner's to the head-banging haven at Crosskeys Tavern, our local stages are as diverse as a vinyl collector's prized shelf. And if you think spelling bees ended in middle school, The Pour House is about to change your mind with their adults-only word showdown this Friday.
Meanwhile, our local wrestlers are preparing to grapple with glory at this weekend's sectional championships. With powerhouse junior Smith leading the charge and freshman phenom Cyrus ready to make his mark, Ross County's mat warriors are bringing more intensity than a Friday night cage match - minus the folding chairs, of course.
