Good morning, Vinton County. The doors are officially open for early voting across Ohio! From now through May 4, you can cast your ballot at your local board of elections, with extended evening hours on select days and weekend options available. It's democracy in action with flexibility built in – whether you prefer voting in person or requesting that absentee ballot (which must be postmarked by May 5 if returned by mail).
Creativity and community service are thriving throughout our county this week. Wellston Intermediate School has reason to celebrate as two talented students claimed first and second place in a state art competition for National Missing Children's Day – a remarkable achievement under art teacher Heather Callahan's guidance. And don't miss this Saturday's 4-H Noodle Dinner at Central Elementary, where your $12 ticket gets you a delicious meal while supporting scholarships for local youth. Between the silent auction ending at 6:45 p.m. and volunteer recognition at 6 p.m., it's community spirit served with all the fixings.
