🏠 Bouncy boom

Vinton County • March 26, 2025

​

Good morning, Vinton County. Hold onto your hats – the world's largest bounce house is about to make Rockbridge, Ohio its home. The Hocking Hills Family Fun Center is preparing to unveil this record-setting inflatable castle, adding yet another reason to visit our already attraction-rich region. This air-filled wonder isn't just impressive – it's literally bouncing into the record books upon its official debut, proving that sometimes the biggest attractions come with the most air inside.

Meanwhile, across county lines, Gallia officials are diving into some serious financial planning. Commissioners unanimously approved moving forward with paperwork for a $900,000 USDA loan to fund the Green Sewer Phase 2 project. The 40-year commitment at 2.5% interest represents a significant infrastructure investment, arriving alongside approvals for law enforcement contracts with the Gallia-Meigs Housing Authority and Centerville village that establish new rates for officers and patrol vehicles.
