Welcome home. This is The Butler Brief for Thursday, September twenty-fourth. Put the phone down, keep moving, and let’s get you caught up.
First, the weather. Butler County starts the day cloudy and around sixty-three degrees. The National Weather Service forecast calls for a high near seventy-four, with very little chance of rain. Tonight will be mostly clear, with patchy fog possible and a low near forty-eight. Friday turns sunny after any morning fog, with a high near seventy-two.
On the roads, Springfield Road in Reily Township remains closed to through traffic for culvert repairs between a point seven miles north of Main Street and five hundred feet south of Indian Creek Road. The county tentatively expects it to reopen Friday. On Kyles Station Road just east of Interstate seventy-five, portable traffic signals are maintaining traffic during turn-lane work. Expect delays and allow extra time.
For your Thursday plans, Fairfield’s community tree planting runs from four to six at Marsh Park, six-four-four-zero River Road. Meet in the parking lot. In Hamilton, the Butler County Farmers and Artisan Market is open from five to eight at the Butler County Courthouse, one-oh-one High Street.
Heading into Cincinnati? The Great Gatsby begins at seven-thirty tonight at the Aronoff Center. Tickets are listed from forty-eight dollars and twenty-five cents, subject to availability.
And finally, who’s playing today? The Cincinnati Reds visit the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. First pitch is seven-fifteen Eastern.
Check the linked organizers and official road notices for last-minute changes. That’s your Thursday morning rundown. Thanks for listening to The Butler Brief.
