Stay Home Stay Safe
Last week we wrote about Ohio’s COVID-19 cases on the rise. That day our numbers climbed 1000 cases overnight. The increase is largely among young adults ages 20 & up. We all need to do our part to keep the numbers at bay and most importantly to keep family members healthy. We need to stay home, wear a mask when we are not home and wash our hands!
Casey's Favorite: Worth the Watch
NBC's annual Macy's 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular returns for a dazzling night of fireworks and star-studded musical performances with a two-hour live telecast starting at 8/7c.

The Black Eyed Peas, The Killers, Lady A, John Legend, Tim McGraw and Brad Paisley will take the stage before the fireworks begin.
