Closures scheduled for Tuesday with rain day for Wednesday
Drivers will find intermittent parking and lane closures on Franklin Avenue near the Pufferbelly restaurant today due to repair work on the former railroad depot.

SIGHT of Ohio will lead exploration of haunted Kent buildings Saturday night
Ghost hunters both professional and just the curious return to the Kent Stage tonight for a late night of normal-paranormal activity. The Spiritual Insight Ghost Hunting Team of Ohio (SIGHT) will lead the annual progressive ghost hunt from 9 p.m. tonight to 3 a.m. Sunday morning at the theater.

Local winners are entered for a shot at the regional prize: a trip to Great Wolf Lodge
Four-year-old Patrick Barkley isn't just a fan of the Kent State Golden Flashes men's basketball team. He's a crucial link in their winning ways. Patrick's mom, Barbara Barkley, won our Littlest Fan Contest with her photo submission of Patrick sweeping the court during a Flashes home game at the MACC. Thanks to Patrick, the court was free of sweat and debris! The family won a $50 gift certificate to the Pufferbelly, and they will compete against other Ohio Patch site contest winners for a weekend for four at Great Wolf Lodge. Thanks to everyone who submitted photos to our contest!

Win a weekend for 4 at Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky.
Is your little one a Little Fan with big team spirit? You know: The daughter who loves to get decked out in Kent State Golden Flashes colors. Or the son who's the rowdiest spectator at the Rough Riders game. We're inviting you to share your children's (ages 12 and under) best display of team spirit on Patch! Show off your kids in their baddest team logo clothes or their most colorful game day face paint. Is your child's bedroom decorated entirely in team colors? Or maybe you have a great game photo of your kids cheering on the home team. The team, sport or professional/amateur status doesn't matter: It could be the Heights High Tigers football squad or the Avon Eagles girls' golf team. All we want to see is your child's love for sports …
