Food vendors serve up memories at the Fairfield County Fair
LANCASTER − The Fairfield County Fair provides lots of fun to thousands of visitors each year. From rides, games, meeting old friends and various events during the week, the fair is the heart of the community. One of the main offerings has always been food. And plenty of it. Hungry fairgoers this year could find a variety of items from the chicken and noodles in the dining hall to a burger from a concession stand and everything in between. Under the main grandstand, local high schools offered concessions that feature sandwiches and soup, such as chili. Local church groups also have concessions, like the Cattleman that offered burgers and chicken sandwiches. There was even a vendor this year that offered a vegetarian dish featuring grilled vegetables. That's not something typically seen at a county fair, but it seemed like there was always a people at the stand watching their meals being prepared. Of course, like most any fair, the Fairfield County Fair had the fan favorites like pizza, fries, ice cream, corn dogs, popcorn, candy apples, funnel cake, gyros, cheese curds and much more. Maybe some of the fan favorites are not the most healthy, but they certainly are fun

New 'active lifestyle destination' has pickleball, soccer, beer garden
The Bend NKY , a new family-friendly sports and entertainment complex, is officially open in Hebron. The roughly 5.3-acre site at 1930 Conrad Lane features seven indoor pickleball courts, two indoor turf soccer fields, gathering areas and private event spaces, as well as a bar, outdoor patio, mezzanine viewing area and rotating food trucks, according to a press release. An outdoor turf soccer field is expected to open later this year, while The Backyard at The Bend, an outdoor beer garden, is slated to open by mid-2027. According to the release, The Bend NKY co-founder Brad Trauth had owned the Conrad Lane property for about eight years when the development of a multi-use bike path through the property inspired the idea for the facility. “We wanted to build more than courts and fields. Our vision was to create an active lifestyle destination where people could come together, stay active and build meaningful connections," Trauth said in a statement. "The Bend is about bringing people together through sports, recreation and community, and we’re excited to see that vision come to life." The Bend's indoor spaces can also be rented for private events, including birthday celebrations, team gatherings and corporate outings. This

More than coffee. Thornville café will be built on community, kindness
THORNVILLE – Community, connectivity and a little splash of kindness. Those are the secret ingredients for Thornville Coffee, a new cafe under development near the intersection of Sheridan Road and Ohio 13 and north of Sheridan High School. The new coffee shop will be the fourth owned by husband and wife Tim and Jenn Koenig, who also own Scioto Valley Coffee in Circleville, Millersport Coffee and McConnelsville Coffee. They're expecting to open in late 2027, Tim said. Site development is underway for the 2-acre plot, as crews worked on relocating some underground gas lines Oct. 8. Tim expected a hiatus over the winter before the second phase starts in the spring. "Phase 2 will be when the building goes up and everything else," Tim explained to the Times Recorder. "Depending on the weather (and) what spring looks like, the goal will be around April to get the shell up, and then go from there with the intent to open six (to) eight months later." Tim estimated the entire project would cost between $650,000 and $700,000, including the property purchase and the coffee shop's construction. However, the final numbers will be better known once he has the plans approved by the
