Union County • July 16, 2025

​

Good morning, Union County. The sweet sound of "We're open!" will finally ring out at Marysville's rebuilt Dairy Queen this Wednesday, ending what locals have described as a too-long hiatus for the beloved ice cream destination. The upgraded Grill and Chill format promises to satisfy both nostalgic cravings and hungry appetites as staff complete their final training at the new Columbus Avenue location.

Healthcare and entertainment are also getting fresh faces across the county. Memorial Health welcomes Dr. Dylan Ekstrand, whose journey to medicine began with a childhood broken arm, while Rebecca Wilder steps into leadership after two decades of service. Meanwhile, 44 young performers are perfecting their "bend and snap" as Encore! Union County brings "Legally Blonde" to Veterans Memorial Auditorium July 18-20, showcasing talent from six local high schools and nine colleges.
