As I write this column, the day is beautiful as the sun is shining and the wind is mild. It is a good day to be outside doing something. So why am I in here typing?
Looking ahead there is still a lot of work to do to get ready for our July 29 celebration of the Town of Zanesville. If you would like to help in any way please call me and I will assign you to a spot.
Men get your beard ready for a contest. You have plenty of time to grow one that will be judged.
Everyone work on a costume to wear for the day that is dated 1848, 175 years ago.

Welcome to a new business in town. Matthew and Cameo Kinsey, who reside just north of Zanesville, have opened their business “Just Add Chips” just across the street from the County Line Pizza and Pub. This is in the large brick building that is right on the 4-way stop corner and was the Zanesville Antiques. They have their own entry door and inside there are two booths that seat four people if you like to dine inside. They make their own salsa and their own chips. I bought some of both so I could tell you how good they are and they are good!
They have two types of chips and many, many flavors of salsa. Among the flavors are plain, peach, cilantro, strawberry mango, fruit, pickle salsa, and pineapple to name a few. They also have soft drinks, bottled water and candy.
All forms of payment are accepted. Their phone number is 1-260-705-4910 and you can find them on their Facebook page. They invite you to stop in for the “Best Tasting Salsa in Town.” As of now their open times are Monday through Friday from noon to 5 p.m. Stop in and say hello!
