Find something to do in Ross County this April now
Check out five local events taking place in Chillicothe in April.
Spring is finally doing its job. The sun is out, people are out, windows are down, and for a minute, it almost feels like we all have our lives together.
Then you hit road construction. Not even the construction, that’s expected. It is the people. The zero patience. The folks riding your bumper, like moving three feet faster, is going to change their entire day. The ones who merge at the last second and then act shocked when no one rolls out a welcome mat. It is chaos for no reason. We all want to get where we are going. We all know it is a mess right now. Take a breath. You are still going to get there. And if you see me calmly staying in one lane like a reasonable adult… just know I am judging you a little.
