MANSFIELD — We just experienced a helluva weekend in Mansfield and across Richland County.
On Episode 58 of the News Man Weekly podcast, Richland Source Deputy Managing Editor Carl Hunnell recaps a myriad of fun events from one end of the county to another.
“For all the brain-dead, nattering nabobs of negativism who say there is nothing to do around here … How about them apples of a weekend?” Hunnell asked.
“Ya’ll just need to shut up with that stuff, to be honest,” he opined.
Plus, we’ve got updates on Ashland’s bizarre “Shoe Bandit” arrest, a big reveal planned at Fleming Falls Preserve and a developing petition effort that could put large wind and solar facilities on the countywide ballot in 2026.
Then stick around for our feature interview with Matthew Scruggs, the new chief executive officer of the North End Community Improvement Collaborative.
Scruggs shares his background, how he’s helping to navigate the organization’s financial challenges and what’s next for the long-awaited community impact center on Mansfield’s North End.
There is even a discussion about eggs benedict and the best way to cook bacon.
