Today's riddle: What did the wall say to the other wall. 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Ohio man sentenced in connection with Parkersburg drug arrest (mariettatimes.com) — A Columbus man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for selling meth outside a Parkersburg business and supplying large quantities of cartel-sourced drugs into the Parkersburg area. Federal investigators say his trafficking network redistributed meth locally and beyond, and he now faces immigration custody after his sentence because of a prior removal order.
2. SEU Worship Announces The Found in the Field Tour (gospelmusic.org) — Parkersburg will host SEU Worship's "Found in the Field" tour at The Warehouse Church on Saturday, October 10, 2026, offering a night of contemporary worship and community. The national tour hits eight cities, with tickets available starting August 26 through an online presale and general sale.
3. City Cup exchanges hands: Parkersburg defeats Parkersburg South, 5-3 (newsandsentinel.com) — Parkersburg High's golfers reclaimed the City Cup with a 5-3 win over Parkersburg South at The Links at Woodridge in Mineral Wells, highlighted by strong finishes from both boys and girls. Local standouts like Jack Louden, Dominic Way, and freshman Katie Ann Lemaster helped secure the victory in the Ryder Cup-style matchup.
4. Visiting the four corners of the U.S. (theintermountain.com) — A former Parkersburg resident and Parkersburg South graduate just completed a solo road trip to the four extreme points of the contiguous U.S., logging nearly 11,000 miles.
