Happy Friday! Chelsea here.

It's the end of the week, so I thought we'd close things out with something sweet. Mardi Gras is coming up on Tuesday, so it seems like a really good time to get your New Orleans food cravings all planned out. People have been eating King Cake since the middle ages, but it's certainly evolved over the years. Bakeries that serve this seasonal pastry tend to stop serving it on Ash Wednesday, so now is definitely the time to treat yourself. Enjoy the long weekend, Columbus, and we'll see you all back here bright and early on Tuesday morning.

This Century-Old Ohio Footage Is The First Time A President Was Caught On Film

🎥

President's Day is almost here, so I thought we'd take a look at one iconic moment that was captured right here in Ohio. It's hard to imagine a time when the President didn't appear on our screens every day, but that was the case for most presidents prior to the 20th century. Until this footage was shot here in Ohio over 120 years ago.
