Sugarloaf Mountain Amphitheatre puts on original play for fall
CHILLICOTHE — As the leaves start to fall and the weather cools, that can only mean one thing for Ross County: It's time for Sugarloaf Mountain Amphitheatre's Haunted Mountain. Brandon Cavender Smith, CEO of The Scioto Society, said this is their 12th year of doing Haunted Mountain, but this year has a different spin on it, as Caleb Johnson, a Tecumseh actor, has stepped up as a playwright. "Last year, when we started thinking about doing shows in rotation and reading scripts and all of that, Caleb had written a play that we put on stage last summer," Smith said. "I was really impressed with his writing, so I just kind of approached him and asked if he'd be interested in writing three scripts for us." That was when Johnson's rendition of Dracula was born. "It's a completely original adaptation of it," Johnson said. "Without giving too much away, it definitely takes a bit more of an action twist compared to other adaptations of it. Where most adaptations are about good versus evil, we're a bit more about mortality versus immortality." Johnson said he's excited to have an opportunity to write for a production such as this, on top of

September 25 - 27: Jack Pine Glass Studio to host abridged Glass Pumpkin Festival This weekend
LAURELVILLE — After major flooding in southeast Ohio last weekend forced an early shutdown of one of America’s top fall festivals, Jack pine Studios in the Hocking Hills announced today that it will host a minim Glass Pumpkin Festival Sept. 25-27. Open Friday and Saturday 10 a.m.-7 p.m. and Sunday 10-5, this weekend will feature free parking, and of course, the giant pumpkin patch filled with thousands of Pine’s signature glass pumpkins. The 2026 Pumpkin of the year will be available. The deep red dragon-like piece has glittering copper scales and a copper-hued metallic stem. Pine envisioned the 2026 Pumpkin of the Year while mesmerized by the very fire he and his gifted team of artists use to blow glass, which conjures up ancient legends of fire-breathing dragons. Jack Pine Studio Gallery will be open, offering more works by Pine and a host of other fine artists. In addition, a massive two-story steel pumpkin armature that was started last weekend, then abandoned during the flood will be completed as guests to watch the artists at work swirling molten glass over the sculpture, creating the world’s largest glass pumpkin. And Pine and his talented team of artists will be on hand

Backwoods Fest to bring crafts, bluegrass to Thornville for 31st year
Tucked away in a bucolic thicket, Backwoods Fest may not be as visible or earth-shakingly audible as the nearby Lost Lands , but its 31-year existence makes it more than Thornville’s “other” festival. Backwoods Fest always takes place on the third weekend of September, rain or shine, and as luck would have it, the fest runs concurrently with Lost Lands Festival this year. Lost Lands 2026 lineup: Lost Lands releases 2026 lineup, including Slander, Illenium, more The disparate festivals don't compete for the same audience, but the coinciding dates and close proximity of the events could cause heavy traffic on State Route 13 south of Interstate 70.

Chillicothe prison marks 100 years of history
CHILLICOTHE— In 1966, the state of Ohio took over a federal prison located near the north end of the city. This year, the Chillicothe Correctional Institution is celebrating 100 years of keeping the community safe. Located directly next to the Hopewell Culture National Historical Park, the land the prison sits on has a rich history. It was once used by the Hopewell Culture before Camp Sherman took over the area in World War I. It later became a federal penitentiary before becoming a state prison. The facility even predates ODRC, the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, which was established in 1972. Former Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Director Gary Mohr said that the state prison is unique for many reasons, including its large open yard, but what really makes it special is the people who work at the facility, helping rehabilitate members of society. "They're just good, hardworking people," said Mohr. During the celebration of the anniversary, the institution displayed various old photos, historic items and pieces of art created by incarcerated adults. Items on display included a gavel, old brochures, portable time clocks once carried by officers and laundry pins. Before the state took over, the prison
