And if you stop in at the right time, you may even see a granddaughter or two lending a hand—adding to the warm, welcoming feel that sets this shop apart.

Fun Fashion, On Screen and In Store

Visitors often discover Uniquely Yours through its fun and engaging social media presence, where the shop shares new arrivals, behind-the-scenes moments, and fitting-room celebrations. That joyful energy carries straight into the store, making the shopping experience memorable and relaxed.

It’s not about perfection—it’s about enjoying the moment, celebrating life’s milestones, and having a little fun along the way.

Winter Driving Tips for Pickaway County: Stay Safe on the Road This Season

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 0

Winter weather is part of life in Ohio, and whether you’re commuting, heading to a Pickaway County event, or planning holiday travel, it’s important to prepare your vehicle for winter conditions. With guidance from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and support from our partners at Coughlin Automotive of Circleville, here’s how to stay safe on the road all season long.

Winter Car Maintenance: What to Check Before Temperatures Drop

A well-maintained vehicle is essential for winter driving in Ohio. NHTSA highlights several important steps every driver should take:

1. Check Your Battery Strength

Cold temperatures reduce battery power. Have your battery tested—especially if it’s older.

2. Inspect Tires or Consider Winter Tires

Good tire tread is crucial for safe traction on snow and ice.

3. Test Wipers, Defrosters, and Lights

Clear visibility is important during snowstorms and early sunsets.

4. Top Off Antifreeze and Washer Fluid

Use winter-grade washer fluid to prevent frozen nozzles.

If you need help with a seasonal inspection, tire replacement, or general maintenance, Coughlin Automotive’s Circleville service teams can help you get winter-ready.

Pack a Winter Emergency Kit for Your Vehicle

NHTSA recommends keeping a winter car kit in your trunk, especially for longer trips across Central Ohio. Include:

  • Ice scraper + snow brush

  • Blankets and warm clothing

  • Jumper cables

  • First-aid kit

  • Flashlight

  • Phone charger

  • Bottled water + snacks

This is especially helpful when traveling to winter events, local parks, holiday markets, or snowy scenic areas in Pickaway County.

Winter Driving Techniques for Safer Travel in Ohio

Driving slowly and staying alert can prevent most winter road incidents. NHTSA’s safe winter driving guidelines include:

  • Reduce speed significantly on snowy or icy roads

  • Increase following distance to 8–10 seconds

  • Avoid cruise control in slippery conditions

  • Brake gently to avoid skidding

Whether you’re visiting downtown Circleville, heading to Chillicothe or Columbus, or exploring our county’s winter trails, these tips help you travel safely.

Holiday Events Guide 2025 - 1920x1080 - 1

Statewide Holiday Events Guide Features Pickaway County Celebrations

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 0

Circleville, Ohio – Across Ohio, communities are stringing lights, tuning choirs, baking cookies, warming cocoa, and preparing for one of the most cherished seasons of the year. TourismOhio has released the 2025 Ohio Holiday Events Guide, a curated collection of 440 holiday happenings that highlight small traditions, big celebrations, and the hometown magic that makes the holiday season special statewide.

“The Holiday Events Guide is really about connection,” said Sarah Wickham, Ohio’s State Tourism Director. “The holidays are when people come home, see old friends, and reconnect. These events are opportunities to make memories together, support local businesses, and feel that sense of belonging that Ohio does so well.”

Pickaway County Events Featured in the Statewide Guide

The Holiday Events Guide includes five events from every Ohio county, offering a snapshot of the celebrations that reflect local pride and seasonal tradition. Pickaway County is represented by several much-loved holiday events, including:

Circleville Turkey Trot
November 27, Circleville
A Thanksgiving Eve run and walk for all ages.

Roundtown Players A Holiday Trio of Plays
December 5 through 14, Circleville
A festive series of three holiday-themed productions presented by the Roundtown Players community theater.

Ohio Christian University Festival of Carols
December 6, Circleville
A joyful evening of choir performances and seasonal music.

YMCA Creative Arts Presents Beauty and the Beast
December 6 and 7, Circleville
A family-friendly theatrical performance presented by the YMCA Creative Arts Center.

“Pickaway County is honored to be included among this year’s statewide selections,” said Jenny Rhoads, PCVB Administrator. “These events represent the creativity and tradition that make our communities shine during the holiday season, and we are excited for more people to experience them through the Holiday Events Guide.”

Why This Guide Matters to Local Communities

TourismOhio research shows that one in four people visiting friends or relatives in Ohio never leave the house to participate in an activity. At the same time, 60 percent of Ohio trips are planned within four weeks, meaning holiday outings are often spontaneous decisions. The Holiday Events Guide serves as a simple, easy resource that helps residents and visitors discover local events and share meaningful experiences.

“During the holidays we welcome friends, family, and loved ones into our homes, hoping to make their stay as effortlessly magical as the season feels,” said Lydia Mihalik, Director of the Ohio Department of Development. “This guide gives people a simple starting point to turn those visits into memorable experiences. When visitors explore our towns and neighborhoods, the whole community feels the benefit.”

Local Stories, Statewide Reach

Events included in the Holiday Events Guide are submitted by Convention and Visitors Bureaus across the state. This ensures the listings reflect what residents treasure most, including:

  • Festive light displays

  • Historic village celebrations

  • Tree lightings and parades

  • Winter markets and craft fairs

  • Choirs, concerts, and community theater

  • Family workshops and seasonal performances

The guide highlights the variety and authenticity of local traditions that make Ohio’s holiday season unique.
