August 7, 2024, Press Release from the City of Findlay: Findlay, Ohio- August 7, 2024: The City of Findlay is thrilled to present a vision for the future of Emory Adams Park and we are asking for your input. The current Fort Findlay playground has been well-loved by our community since 2001. The existing structure requires upgrades and maintenance that are unsustainable and require a new park to be built. The renderings below allow Fort Findlay Playground to remain a community staple while creating increased sightlines for safety and accessibility for all.

Heavy rain over the past few days have resulted in flooding along area rivers and creeks. On Tuesday afternoon just northwest of Arlington, the Eagle Creek at County Road 24 in Hancock County was running quite high and spilling out of its banks. Water from the creek spilled into nearby fields resulting in at least several inches of water. The fast moving water nearly touched the bottom of the bridge. At this particular location, the roadway was not covered in water.

For the twentieth year, hot air balloons touched down in Findlay for the annual Flag City BalloonFest. The festival brings around 30,000 people to the area, including pilots from around the region to take part in the weekend's events. One of the most entertaining parts of the free event is seeing the specialty character balloons, but the most exciting part is watching the competitions that pilots take part in.
