🌱Road Closure + Pets In Need + New Houses That Just Hit The Market

Hi all. I'm back with your fresh copy of the Avon-Avon Lake Daily. Here's everything you need to know about what's happening locally...

First, today's weather:

Partly sunny and beautiful. High: 80 Low: 65.

Here are the top three stories in Avon-Avon Lake today:

1. If you've been hoping to add a fuzzy ball of four-legged love and affection to your household, you should check out these shelters in the Avon-Avon Lake area for a pet who needs a home.
   There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home across Ohio — many of whom are located not too far from you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin your search for your new four-legged companion is at Love A Stray, where Griffin the cat is waiting patiently. (Avon-Avon Lake Patch)
2. According to WJON News, "a busy road that connects two Stearns County towns will be closed next week. County Road 54 between Albany and Avon will close Monday and reopen at the end of the day Friday. Crews will be replacing four existing culverts under the roadway, prompting a detour around the corridor. The detour will be via Interstate 94." Drive carefully and make the necessary time accommodations for the road closure. (WJON News)
3. Looking for a new house, and want to get a better understanding of what's available near you? Need some assistance in your search? Fear not! To help simplify your search, we here at Patch have compiled the latest batch of new listings nearby. (Avon-Avon Lake Patch)
