The John & Annie Glenn Heritage Trail Launched
The Zanesville-Muskingum County Convention and Visitors Bureau has recently launched the John & Annie Glenn Heritage Trail.
Before he was a four-term U.S. Senator, orbital astronaut and military test pilot, John G. Glenn Jr. was a small-town plumber’s son who dreamed of flying someday. Before her 73-year marriage to John, Annie Glenn was a small-town dentist’s daughter with
a very special boyfriend who would one day become one of Ohio’s favorite sons.
Follow the John & Annie Glenn Heritage Trail through Zanesville, New Concord and Cambridge to celebrate the life of John Glenn, their namesake museum and 33 other locations throughout Guernsey and Muskingum counties. Visit each stop along the trail to learn the stories of Ohio’s first world-famous astronaut and the woman he called “the wind beneath my wings.”
To request a free copy of the John & Annie Glenn Heritage Trail, call the Zanesville-Muskingum County Convention and Visitor Bureau at 740-455-8282 or email acook@zmchamber.com.
Glassblowing Classes Offered
A favorite attraction in southeast Ohio’s Hocking Hills, Jack
Pine Studio announced it has resumed its wildly popular glassblowing workshops. Jack Pine’s team of gifted artists will lead travelers in this creative hands-on experience. Students will craft gleaming works of art in this exciting medium, learning professional techniques from skilled glass artist Madi Cano.
Classes are reserved in time slots for cohort groups of two, four or six. Starting at only $149 for two, $290 for four and $425 for six, each group of participants will choose to create either a glass paperweight, solid pumpkin or solid heart. After a thorough demonstration by Cano, each guest will then have time to practice what they learn, turning blobs of molten glass into beautiful works of art. Complete details and reservations are available now at JackPineStudio.com.
