Good morning, Mansfield.

Mansfield native Jess Berry was named director of operations and special events at The Visual Bucket List Foundation, where she volunteered since 2020.

Berry brings strong experience in communications, education and nonprofit work — a perfect fit to lead fundraisers and community events for children with degenerative vision conditions.

The Richland County Foundation Board of Trustees approved over $923,634 in grants this month to nearly three dozen local organizations to fund housing, education and safety projects across the area.

Habitat for Humanity and Pioneer Career & Technology Center will build a new home in Shelby during the upcoming academic year — the grants also support the Mansfield Police Department’s Therapy K9 team and improvements at the Lucas Community Center.

Today in Mansfield, dozens of women from across the Buckeye State begin competing for the Miss America pageant title in the Miss Ohio 2025 event—featuring participants including those from Miss Northern Ohio's TeenMiss Ohio Scholarship Program.

Miss Ohio and Miss Ohio's Teen contestants marched in downtown Mansfield on Sunday + they showcased colorful displays that brought local excitement to the parade.
