A NOTE FROM OUR PRESIDENT & CEO
 
If you haven't traveled around our community, you've missed a lot of activity this week, and much more taking place over the weekend.

Shopkeepers all over town have been sprucing up for a busy Mother's Day weekend, downtown volunteers have been planting flowers and two new stores cut ribbons this week offering unique items for sale.

Also, this weekend marks the return of Party on Paint, sponsored by EPIC (Empowering Young Professionals in Chillicothe). This fun Friday evening event returns with the music of Jennifer Westwood and the Handsome Devils. The event kicks off in front of the Ross County Courthouse from 5 to 8 PM tonight.

Downtown will be a bustle with activity all weekend long as Discover Downtown Chillicothe hosts its Spring Open House. Make sure you swing through town and spend some time walking through the historic district and pick up something nice for mom.

If you're interested, or know someone between the ages of 21-40, to become involved in EPIC, check out their facebook page or stop by the chamber.

Have a great weekend and Happy Mother's Day!
