CHILLICOTHE - Just because local businessman Kevin Ross has become the latest recipient of the Chillicothe Ross Chamber of Commerce's Entrepreneur of the Year award, it doesn't mean he will be resting on his laurels.

Ross, well known for having several business ventures in play at any given time, said he's looking for big things in the year to come.

"We've got lots of different projects in the pipeline right now with all the different companies," Ross told the Gazette after receiving the award at the chamber's annual dinner Tuesday night. "The Lake White Club is still under construction, so we hope to have the dam and the lake back this year and we're looking forward to that coming up this summer. Capital ATM is constantly expanding and Landmark Properties Group, we have lots of projects in the works in buildings we are continuing to re-purpose and remodel at the same time."

Ross purchased the Lake White Club in 2014 when the previous owners announced the Pike County eatery and recreational destination would be closing. He promptly began a renovation and restoration process while keeping the business open. The dam work to which he referred is an ongoing joint project by the Ohio Department of Transportation and Ohio Department of Natural Resources to address problems with the lake's dam and spillway and make road and bridge improvements in the Lake White area. That work is expected to be done sometime around June to reopen the area to boaters and others who enjoy spending recreational time there.

The Scioto Society, producers of the Outdoor Drama Tecumseh! are extremely excited to announce their third annual spring fundraiser, CEAD MILE FAILTE, on March 11th at St. Peters Hall in Downtown Chillicothe. The event is sponsored by Huntington Bank.

"In Just two years, this event has become one of the signature social events in Chillicothe. We had set out to put on a fundraiser that was fun, different, casual and most importantly not stuffy. The sold out crowd told us we did it all right and to please do it again. Jan Nusbaum is again serving as our event chair and everyone in town knows what a great party Jan throws. So, we are changing up some things to keep it fresh but I predict this will once again be the party that Chillicothe talks about for the next 12 months. Sure, we'll have all the normal fundraiser stuff including a silent auction with a fantastic collection of items. But it's going to be a big night. The Drowsy Lads are the hottest young Irish band in Ohio and they showed us last year how much fun they are on stage. We're thrilled they're returning" Said Brandon Smith, CEO of the Scioto Society.

The event will be held in the stunningly renovated St. Peters Hall and offer a glimpse into a historic building that many people may not have had the opportunity to see. Several local caterers will provide the food including. Sara Myers of High Five Cakes will again be creating a showpiece of a cake for the event. 

"Her creation was the most talked about bakery item in Ross County the past two years and I have no doubt she'll outdo herself yet again. There's some surprises still in store. But I can tell you this...the event is going to sell out again, it will be the party of the year again and do I don't recommend waiting to get a ticket" said Smith.

Tickets are $75 each or $550 for reserved tables of eight. Ticket includes dinner, champagne and the show. Tickets are available now by calling 740-775-4100. Cead Mile Failte is presented by Huntington Bank with support from G&J Pespi Bottlers.
