Downtown Fremont has seen a rebirth. But do you remember scenes from the past 50 years?
It’s good to see that there is lots of activity in the Fremont downtown area these days. Cars parked along the street and people walking, hopefully to do some serious shopping or enjoy a meal or entertainment, are good signs. And activities are planned to bring visitors down during the year.

Ohio DNR has new wetland project going near Sandusky Bay
SANDUSKY — Another H2Ohio wetland is being built to improve water quality in western Lake Erie’s Sandusky Bay, this time near the Pickerel Creek Wildlife Area roughly halfway between Fremont and Sandusky. The project complements others done previously in the Sandusky area near the Cedar Point amusement park. Some of that work was shown in the fall of 2022 to 35 people, including U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D., Ohio) and some Bowling Green State University researchers. Scudder Mackey, Ohio Division of Coastal Management director, said the multiple coastal wetland projects in various stages of development in the vicinity of Sandusky Bay are a first for the Great Lakes region. The bay has been a long-overlooked part of Lake Erie that has harbored a different type of toxin-producing algae, planktothrix, from the toxin-producing microcystis that’s in the majority of the lake’s western basin.

A Woodville tradition returns. What to know about the annual Memorial Day Parade
It’s become a Memorial Day tradition for me over the past 25 years or so: wake up with my usual Monday morning alarm at 6:20 a.m., fix myself a cappuccino — as close to coffee as I get — maybe check a few emails or do a little crochet, then head to the barn to do chores. Once the animals are contentedly munching their hay, I head into town to meet up with a few of “my” 4-H kids at Veterans Park to place American flags along the sidewalk for the ceremony that will happen a little later in the morning.
