Good morning, Union County. October 25th marks a chance to tackle the hidden danger lurking in medicine cabinets across our community. This Saturday's prescription drug "Take-Back" event offers a free, anonymous way to safely dispose of those expired pills and patches that might otherwise fall into the wrong hands. Five convenient locations will welcome drop-offs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with permanent collection boxes available year-round for those who miss the event.
In lighter news, Broadway-style entertainment arrives locally as Marysville High School presents "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" at The Avalon Theatre. This interactive comedy, where audience members become surprise contestants, runs November 7-9. Meanwhile, our community mourns the loss of David Leist, a beloved local handyman who passed away suddenly at 61, remembered for his helpfulness and special love of dogs.
