🌱 Fair Board Fundraising Dinner + Upcoming Marietta Events

Morning, neighbors! Dan Casarella here with the Tuesday copy of the Marietta Daily.

First, today's weather:

Times of clouds and sun. High: 58 Low: 34.

Here are the top three stories today in Marietta:

1. The Washington County Fair Board hosted a fundraiser dinner on Saturday night. The dinner was to raise funds for the upkeep of the fairgrounds and fair improvements. The Board was excited to host this event, as many of them had to be canceled recently due to the pandemic. (Parkersburg News)
2. There's a busy week ahead in Marietta! For those looking to engage with the community, Jordan's Way, The Mid Ohio Valley Players, and The Castle Historic House Museum are all hosting events in Marietta this week. For all full listing of events, visit Marietta's Patch page. (Marietta Patch)
3. For Marietta residents looking for a new job, Patch and ZipRecruiter released a roundup of new opportunities. This includes open positions at the Peoples Bank, Kellermeyer Bergensons Services, and Dimex. To see the complete listing of jobs, visit Patch. (Marietta Patch)

Looking for a healthy alternative to that mid-week glass (or three) of wine? Our partners at Betera set out to create beverages that were sophisticated and flavorful enough to drink at cocktail hour but with zero hangover risk. (Their motto is “Drink like there’s tomorrow.”) Betera's drinks are designed by a Michelin-starred chef using natural botanicals — they're lightly effervescent, sippable, refreshingly bitter and at home in a stem glass or in a highball on the rocks. Betera offers three recipes — Rhubarb-Hibiscus, Elderflower-Lime and Ginger-Orange. We’ve tried all three and loved them equally — we recommend the mixed case as a great place to start.

Betera has extended their 15% discount on first orders to Daily readers, in appreciation for the enthusiastic response so far. Enter Patch15 at checkout and https://bit.ly/TryBetera.
