Walmart holds grand reopening in Athens, donates thousands to charity
ATHENS, Ohio — The Walmart Supercenter on East State Street held a grand reopening ceremony Friday, which the store capped off by donating thousands of dollars to local charities. The ribbon-cutting honor was given to Tina Norman, who’s been employed at the store since it opened in 2002. Along with Walmart employees and management, local dignitaries, including Mayor Steve Patterson, Athens City Police Department Chief Nick Magruder and Athens County Sheriff’s Office Sheriff Rodney Smith were in attendance. Robin and Jimmy Burrow, parents of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, and members of the board of directors of the Joe Burrow Foundation also joined the ceremony. The supermarket underwent major renovations, including a full interior makeover with updated bathrooms, a refreshed automotive section and new shelving layouts, among the many changes that have taken place. In contrast to the jovial atmosphere at Friday’s event, the initial reception toward Walmart when it opened its first store in Athens was somewhat ambivalent. Many in Athens were distrustful of the Arkansas-based retail giant, but the community was quickly won over by the store’s charitable activities, Norman explained. “We volunteer a lot and give donations.

Under the orchard lights. Farm-to-table dinners celebrate a taste of Appalachia
There's a place outside Somerset that used to be just an empty hayfield. Now more than 12 years later, a metamorphosis has turned it into an enchanted orchard with twinkling lights, a terrace of fruit trees and flowers and a place to share dinner with your loved ones. Fern Hollow Farm, co-owned by husband and wife Erik Peterson and Olivia Miller-Peterson, is what's called a permaculture farm and event venue, meant to emulate Appalachian ecosystems. It was born out of four generations of farmers, and it more recently introduced a dinner series that uses locally sourced ingredients, some as close as an arm's reach away. "The joy of eating food that is ripened at that moment. It's the freshest. It's the tastiest. It's the peak flavor, peak nutrition," Olivia said. "We're surrounded by all of these wonderful farms and farmers, and really just eating some of the best food. It was just born out of that. We can eat really well here, and we can really celebrate Perry County, celebrate Appalachia in this way." "We think it's important to cultivate closeness, intimacy with the dining experience," Erik added. "It's quiet out here. It's peaceful. So, for me, it's not just
