We are excited to introduce downtown Wadsworth Art Mural #19, a celebration of Wadsworth’s Grizzly Pride! Completed yesterday, June 13, 2026, and located on the back of Grizzly Arcade. Many thanks to everyone who made this installation possible, including the building owner for their permission, the donors who supported the public art, the MSW Design Team, City of Wadsworth, Ohio, Wemmer Painting, and the artist, Oliver Crisóstomo Sánchez. We are so glad to have a part of Wadsworth City Schools spirit in downtown! 🐻🏈🪊🎭⚾️📣❤️

What an incredible event at the Soprema Senior Center today as they celebrated their 50th Anniversary of serving seniors!! The community support at this event was incredible with the cost of all of the food and so much more donated by the Wadsworth Adults Foundation, Medina County Senior Adult Foundation, and the generosity of many Professional Friends from Wadsworth and beyond! Enjoy this drone shot courtesy of Tom Stugmyer. Stay tuned for many more pictures along with special facts about their rich history to come!!

Lyren Substation Transformer Containment Upgrades — both 2025 System Improvement Award winners — show how utilities are advancing reliability, resiliency, operational efficiency and more.
