Good morning, Wooster.

Bishop's Restaurant, a Wooster staple since 1959, is facing economic hardship and staffing shortages while owner Brittany Andriessen works to revive its drive-in atmosphere and expand community events.

She trimmed the hours to 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Wed-Sat—social media support has strengthened her resolve—and plans to host car shows and cookouts if challenges are overcome.

Wayne and Holmes counties offer five events this week that include a comedy show at Lincoln Way Vineyards on March 26, indoor amusement rides at Harvest Ridge Event Center from March 28 to March 30, a free fraud workshop at Greystone Event Center on March 28, a Johnny and June Cash tribute at Amish Country Theater on March 29, and a 1920s-themed murder mystery party at Minglewood Distilling Company in Wooster on March 29. Ticket prices range from free to $65 + each event provides a special local outing.
