This weekend in Ironton, OH

Nxt Level CrossFit Classic offers a comprehensive fitness challenge built for athletes at every stage. First timers and seasoned competitors alike will find a division that fits their current abilities, with cash awards for first place in the Rx divisions. Competitors can enter as individuals in male or female categories, or join teams of four made up of two men and two women. Each category selects from Rx, Intermediate, or Scaled. The Rx track suits athletes who regularly complete prescribed movements and loads and are ready for advanced skills and heavier weights. Intermediate serves those who often go Rx but still modify certain skills or loads, creating a bridge between Scaled and Rx while staying competitive. Scaled welcomes newer athletes or anyone who frequently adjusts movements and weights, focusing on participation and an approachable challenge. Expect a series of workouts that test strength, endurance, skill, and teamwork. The environment blends friendly energy with competition, and divisions are structured to keep matchups fair and enjoyable. It is an opportunity to push limits, represent your gym, and showcase what consistent training can deliver. The aim is simple. Participants give their best and discover what they can do.

A weekly gathering at The Nook & Cranny brings fiber lovers together over hot drinks and easy conversation. Knitters, embroiderers, and anyone curious about yarn crafts are welcome. Participants work on their own projects while enjoying local coffee, seasonal treats, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. There is no formal agenda, just time for stitching, laughter, and shared creativity.

Get started with sewing from the ground up in a beginner-friendly class designed for absolute newcomers. Instruction covers operating a sewing machine, using rotary cutters, rulers, and templates, and calculating fabric needs to reduce waste. The project culminates in a finished quilt. Participants should bring a sewing machine and scissors. The quilt uses 12 fat quarters, and all the terminology will be explained along the way. Fabric can be selected from the shop’s available assortment. The fee is $10 per week.

Handbags for Hope is a Purse Bingo Fundraiser at West Edge Factory that blends fun and community connection with the chance to go home with a new designer handbag. Proceeds from tickets and bingo cards help raise vital funds to continue serving and supporting the community. Expect friendly competition and an uplifting atmosphere where each bingo supports a meaningful cause.

The performance is planned for outdoors if the weather allows. Bikers are welcome for bike night.
