Happy Tuesday! Chelsea here.

Early voting officially kicks off today. If you're planning on voting in-person early, or even if you're just heading to the Board of Elections to drop off your absentee ballot, you are going to want to build a little extra time into your schedule to grab a bite to eat. There are some incredibly delicious options near the facility so work up an appetite by doing your civic duty then head to one of these yummy establishments to celebrate. Honestly, even if you aren't early voting, these restaurants are worth the visit to the Morse Rd. area.

Demolition on the old building and new renderings have been released for the brand new Boys & Girls Club that's going in over in Milo-Grogan. It looks incredible and I can only imagine the impact this project is going to have on the community. ❤️

There is something so wonderful and whimsical about a field full of beautiful, glass blown pumpkins. This magical weekend will feature a variety of vendors and artists, nestled in the natural beauty of Hocking Hills. From ornamental pumpkins do yummy pumpkin treats, a visit to the Glass Pumpkin Patch is a must-do activity this fall.
