Good morning, Mansfield.

Aldi introduced its weekly limited-time Easter deals on April 9 that are available at 170 stores in Ohio, offering seasonal items such as Peeps Easter bath bombs and festive candies—shoppers are urged to act fast before supplies run out.

The Mansfield Art Center will host its 80th Annual May Show—which remains a key event on the North Central Ohio arts calendar.

On Saturday, April 12, volunteers in Richland County will join the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for the fifth annual Midwest Crane Count from 6:30 to 8:30 a.m. to record sightings of the threatened sandhill crane — a statewide survey covering 33 counties that supports conservation efforts.

The first Richland County Baseball Power Poll shows no team is in a clear lead because six teams stand at .500 or better and the top three teams have only one loss — teams will face tough games this week that may shift the rankings.
