Good morning, Wooster.

The 34th annual Wayne County Home & Garden Show will be held at the Wayne County Fairgrounds on April 26-27; the free event will run on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will feature vendors, fair food & activities for children including a scavenger hunt and a plant sale. This event will give families a chance to explore new ideas for their homes and gardens.

Wooster City Schools has proposed a $67 million bond for a new middle school to fix overcrowding and update old buildings; voters will decide in May and construction will begin about 18 months later—finishing by fall.

The 3.4-mill bond will cost homeowners $119 per year per $100,000 in assessed value—while the state will give $9 million to help pay for the project.

Camp Invention will take place at Waynedale Elementary School the week of June 9 — the camp will offer hands-on STEM activities under the Discover theme — as local educators guide students in grades K-6 to use creativity and problem-solving.

Wooster resident Laura Sirot, a biology professor at the College of Wooster, announced her candidacy for the Ohio state senate for District 31 and will hold her campaign launch event Sunday, April 27 from 3 to 5 p.m. at Emerson Farm in Apple Creek—where music, refreshments and speeches will introduce her platform for affordable housing, health care and quality education.

Dalton sophomores Lily Teague and Hannah Wenger are leading their softball team this season with better hitting than last year—Teague has a .417 average with five home runs and 21 RBIs while Wenger posts a .604 average with four RBIs and 23 runs scored.

The team will build on these strong numbers as they prepare for a tough game ahead.
