Good morning, Ross County. September in Chillicothe is shaping up to be a celebration of community spirit! The courthouse steps will transform into a hub of positivity on September 19 for "You Matter Day," where Mayor Feeney's proclamation will remind us all of our inherent value. That same day kicks off the Downtown Fall Open House, with German-inspired festivities following on the 20th as Oktoberfest brings a taste of Bavaria to our streets.
Art enthusiasts won't want to miss the unveiling of downtown's vibrant new mural on September 18, complete with free ice cream and commemorative merchandise. The Chamber of Commerce is experiencing its own fresh start with Ross County native Gracie McAllister stepping into a key marketing role. And as homecoming season approaches, it's the perfect time for alumni to revisit those bleachers where you once cheered on your school—perhaps with a bit more wisdom than during those glory days.
