Hope you’re staying safe and hunkering down at home for the storm that is rolling into Logan County this evening! Our content team at the Logan County Chronicle has been busy delving into fresh topics as we begin a new week.

An ordinance that will propose the sale of the Bellefontaine Armory, 1021 S. Main St., to Wawa Midwest LLC, will make its first appearance before the Bellefontaine City Council at its regular meeting Tuesday, April 28, at 7:30 p.m. 

Wawa Midwest, LLC is a Delaware-based chain that offers fuel and convenience store services and which is rapidly expanding in Ohio, having established a number of locations in the Cincinnati area and recently opened stores in Lima and Springfield.

Many bargains are on tap May 16 when the annual West Liberty Fire Sales returns to the village. Nikki Burkhamer discovered the origins of the Fire Sales by interviewing Andrew Blount about the tragic fire in 1880.

West Liberty-Salem recently recognized approximately two dozen high schoolers with the 21st annual White Tiger Awards. The award was established by longtime educator Angie Warye, honoring students who go above and beyond in kindness, perseverance and uplifting others — rare individuals, much like the majestic white tiger itself. 

Sports Editor Preston Shields also recaps weekend results from baseball games and the Tiger Invitational track meet at Waynesfield Goshen.

Hope you have a restful evening! Thanks for being here and please keep in touch with your story ideas and other happenings via our newsroom email, [email protected].

Have a great week,
