Good morning, Kent.

Ohio's two-week sales tax holiday starts at midnight today and runs until 11:59 p.m. on August 14.

Items that cost $500 or less, such as clothing, electronics and home goods, will be tax-free (online orders from retailers like Amazon and Walmart are included if they meet the criteria).

Local naturalist Linda Gilbert will lead a two-hour dragonfly hunt hike at Claridon Woodlands on Sunday, August 3 starting at 1:30 p.m.—participants should bring their own binoculars, sunscreen, water, and camera while wearing sturdy walking shoes.

Kent State product Luke Floriea impressed the Browns on July 30 during training camp by catching an 18-yard pass in the hungry dawg drill—earning praise from coach Kevin Stefanski.

The 23-year-old, a lifelong fan, said his determination and past sports experience keep him fighting for a roster spot.

Before the July 31 trade deadline, the Guardians traded former Cy Young Award winner Shane Bieber to the Blue Jays and reliever Paul Sewald to the Tigers — they kept All-Star left fielder Steven Kwan and claimed reliever Carlos Hernandez off waivers.

The front office said the moves help deepen their pitching staff and add promising talent like prospect Khal Stephen, who is rehabbing from a minor shoulder injury and is expected to pitch at the Double-A level soon.
