​

Good morning, Union County. Autumn in Ohio just got a whole lot more a-maze-ing with the state's first-ever Corn Maze Trail featuring 46 seasonal attractions. Right in our backyard, The MAiZE at Little Darby Creek is celebrating its 24th season with a special design honoring Ohio State coach Ryan Day—perfect for Buckeye fans looking to get lost in fall fun just 30 minutes from Columbus.

Meanwhile, local drivers should prepare for significant detours as U.S. 42 closes between Watkins Rd. and SR 257 this weekend, part of ongoing construction projects that will impact travel through Fall 2025. On a more poignant note, the community says goodbye to Bill Johnson, a 95-year-old Korean War Marine and beloved educator whose 34-year teaching career was matched only by his lifelong commitment to service, leaving behind a legacy that extends far beyond the classroom.
