Angela McCord and Candice Swingle had so much fun representing Discover Perry County at Ohio Tourism Day at the Statehouse. It was a beautiful day spent meeting travel and tourism professionals, making new friends, and recognizing the many reasons to love Ohio!
Perry County: “Home of High Morel Standards!”
We held our usual Coffee on Tuesday May 20th at The Gathering Place at Dodson’s on Broadway and thank everyone who attended to hear about progress on getting the restaurant back up and running after the devastating fire.
We enjoyed free coffee provided by our friends at Café Grind – the Perry Behavioral Health Choices coffee shop, and donuts provided by our office. A donation bowl was present for those who wished to donate what they normally would have spent on breakfast at Dodson’s as we do every month and those who attended were quick to fill the bowl.
Thanks to all and thanks to Cheryl for the update – better days are ahead!

The curriculum is time-tested and has been highly successful because of the creative community efforts of Extension educators, local school teachers, and community volunteers.
Real Money. Real World. is fun and distinctive because it includes an interactive spending simulation that provides the opportunity to make lifestyle and budget choices similar to those made by 27-year-old adults.
