Good morning, Findlay.

Findlay will host two Halloween events this October as the 2025 Cops & Kids Findlay Halloween Parade will be held on October 21 at 7 p.m. on South Main Street with a 'Be a Hero, Be a Champion' theme and a citywide trick-or-treat event is planned for October 25 from 6 to 8 p.m. Parade registration opens with early bird entries on Sept. 8 and standard on Oct. 1 (entries close on Oct. 14) (neighbors should follow local safety guidelines).

The Black Swamp Area Council’s 26th Annual Scouting Golf Classic at Findlay Country Club raised over $90,000 to support local Scouting programs in Northwest and West Central Ohio.

Twenty seven foursomes played as sponsors helped fund the event — all proceeds benefit over 3,000 youths and volunteers, and the 27th Classic is scheduled for May 21, 2026.

Block Communications Inc. sold three broadcast properties, including Your Hometown Stations, to Gray Media—an Atlanta-based company.

The sale will go through a federal review that may take 6 to 12 months, and viewers will see no changes during the process.

Ohio’s annual sales tax holiday began Aug.

1 and will run until Aug. 14, letting shoppers buy most items $500 or less without paying sales tax + the offer does not apply to alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana. Many parents, teachers and students are shopping early to get the best deals for back-to-school needs.

On August 1, 2025, the Ohio State Highway Patrol urged drivers in Findlay to share the road with school buses as the new school year nears; drivers must stop when buses flash red lights and extend stop arms on narrow roads and follow rules on multi-lane roads.

The agency added that school buses receive biannual inspections for safety and encouraged the public to report unsafe driving by calling #677—protecting our students is a shared duty.
