Nobody Expects A Hall Of Fame Dedicated To Popcorn In Marion, Ohio
Over 50 antique popcorn carts and machines sit under a circus tent indoors. That sounds like a dream for any snack fan. I believe that alone is worth a drive across Ohio. The building is a grand old post office with columns and wide front steps. Inside, the popcorn is only the first act.

'Wall That Heals' film is this week's MarionMade!
Each week, Marion Technical College shares MarionMade! stories of our many wonderful people, places, products, and programs in the greater Marion community. To read more positive stories of Marion, or to share some of your own, visit us at marionmade.org or on social media. A Marion filmmaker is bringing a labor of love to the big screen. Terry Cline and his team of veteran videographers created a new film highlighting the “Wall That Heals,” the traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to Delaware in 2024. “We need to honor all veterans. We should never forget the veterans,” Cline said. “When many Vietnam veterans came home, they were told to change into their civvies so they weren’t spit upon and called ‘babykillers.’” Veterans and volunteers who built the wall are invited to a showing of “Honoring our Veterans: The Wall that Heals” at the Strand Theatre in Delaware on Nov. 12. It will then be free to watch on YouTube. It will also be entered in the Worldfest-Houston independent film festival. One of the catalysts who helped bring the wall to central Ohio and making the documentary was Brian Galligher. He is a veteran who still serves in the Navy

Pleasant's volleyball legacy lays with the next generation
You know a program has reached a new plateau when finishing as a regional runner-up is considered a disappointment. In 2023, just making it to the regionals was a celebration as it was just the second time in Pleasant history that its volleyball squad advanced that far. In 2024, the Spartans made their first trip to a volleyball state tournament and brought home a Division VI state runner-up trophy. Last year, with an all-underclassman roster, Pleasant moved up to Division V but still advanced to the Final Four, losing a heartbreaking reverse sweep 3-2 to New Lexington in the semifinals. With seven uber-experienced seniors and three equally experienced juniors in the rotation, the expectations were high, and they put those expectations upon themselves. Unfortunately, the tournament layout placed them in arguably the toughest region in Division V. On the other side of the regional bracket at Ontario was top-ranked Coldwater and No. 3 Huron. After handing Centerburg in three sets , Coldwater did the same to Huron to set up the regional final Nov. 7. Coldwater was not only the No. 1 team in Division V, but it was the team that beat Pleasant for the state championship in 2024.
