Good morning, Ross County. Mark your calendars for a double dose of community wellness next week—Ohio University-Chillicothe nursing students are transforming Bennett Hall into a health education hub on October 14th. The free fair offers everything from hygiene tips to opioid overdose recognition, with Ross County Health District providing flu and COVID vaccines onsite. It's a perfect example of education meeting real-world community needs, all while giving future healthcare professionals valuable experience.
Meanwhile, Chillicothe police had their hands full this past Saturday with 16 incidents ranging from trespassing to a serious domestic violence case involving a firearm. And for those craving some high-octane weekend entertainment, monster truck magic awaits just down the road in Circleville. Patrick Enterprises is celebrating 40 years with free rides, bounce houses and a rare peek inside what Chris Patrick calls "the best kept secret in Pickaway County"—a family business that builds monster trucks for global audiences.
