The Blimps Are Coming to Akron: Prepare for Liftoff!

The blimps are coming to Akron! Yes, you heard that right. Three blimps will be floating over our city to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first blimp flight. We’ll dive into the details of when and where you can catch these majestic airships in action, including during the mayor's State of the City address and a Rubber Ducks game. But that's not all; we’ll also tackle some serious topics, like hazardous waste disposal, because who doesn't love a good convo about batteries and oil-based paints? Plus, we’ll check out a cool exhibit at the Rock Hall and discuss some ridiculous news from Columbus. Buckle up; it’s going to be an entertaining ride!Takeaways: Akron is getting three blimps to celebrate the 100th anniversary of blimp flights, which is totally normal, right? The Wingfoot 1, 2, and 3 blimps are scheduled to fly over two major events in downtown Akron on June 3rd. If you want to see the blimps, check out the mayor's state of the city address or a Rubber Ducks game at Canal Park. Hazardous waste drop-off is available in Stowe, and if you have hazardous waste, you should probably know what it is before you go. The Akron Canton Airport is expanding and adding more flights, making it a better option than Cleveland for flying. Columbus is finally considering free menstrual products for incarcerated women, which honestly should have been a given ages ago.
