Good morning, Scioto County. The sweet sound of opportunity is in the air this weekend as the Greater Huntington Symphonic Band prepares to fill Ashland with melodies during Sunday's free concert at Poage Landing Days. From "The Star-Spangled Banner" to "The Best of Queen," these community musicians—ranging from teenagers to octogenarians—prove that harmony knows no age limits when passion for performance brings people together.
Meanwhile, fortune favors both the skilled and the lucky across our region. Rio Grande golfers are making their mark on collegiate tournaments with Juan Carlo Gil Perez's impressive 5-under par round helping the RedStorm secure a ninth-place finish in Tennessee. And one Waverly shopper's routine stop at Par-Mar turned into a life-changing moment with a $50,000 lottery win—a reminder that sometimes the most extraordinary days begin with the most ordinary decisions.
