The 22nd Annual Spring Classic Sprint Triathlon is happening Sunday, June 14th, 2026 at the Davis Family YMCA in Boardman.

The race starts at 7:30 AM
June 14th, 2026

This is one of the area’s well-known early-season triathlons and it brings together beginners, experienced athletes, local families, volunteers, and supporters.

Proceeds from the event help fund YMCA programs and memberships for youth, adults, and families in our community who are experiencing financial difficulty.

So whether you want to race, volunteer, cheer people on, or simply contribute, this is a good local event to get behind.

Around here, support matters. This is a simple way to help keep community programs accessible for the people who need them.

No one has come to meet her. Not once.

Maggie has been waiting since July 9th at Mahoning County Dog Warden — growing up in a kennel after coming in as a tiny stray… watching other dogs leave while she stays behind.

She’s about 1 year old, ~50 lbs, dog-friendly, and full of playful, happy energy. She loves walks and just being out — like she knows there’s more to life than this.

She’s missed so much and will need patience, training, and someone to finally show her what home feels like.

If you want to truly change a dog’s life — this is her.

Mother’s Day is a good time to give her the house back.

All Spruced Up Cleaning Co helps local families take the cleaning off her plate so she can actually enjoy her home instead of constantly catching up on it.

Deep cleaning, regular maintenance, kitchens, bathrooms, floors, dusting, all the things that quietly pile up while life is busy.

In Youngstown, moms do enough. A clean house she didn’t have to clean herself is a pretty solid gift.

Click here to book All Spruced Up Cleaning Co and let her walk into a home that feels lighter.

Nobody talks about this enough. 🤫

After having babies. After menopause. After years of just... living in your body.

A lot of women experience changes they were never warned about — pelvic floor weakness, bladder leakage when you laugh or sneeze, reduced sensation, discomfort they've just learned to live with.

And most of them never mention it to anyone.

We now offer Advanced HIFU Pelvic Rejuvenation — a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that tightens and tones, strengthens the pelvic floor, and improves symptoms of mild urinary leakage. No surgery, no hormones, no downtime.

Performed by female only. 🤍

If this sounds like something you or someone you love has been quietly dealing with... it doesn't have to stay that way.

DM us privately on Facebook or text (330) 223-4730.
Judgment-free zone.

Mother’s Day Has a Way of Making You Think About Home 💐

Around Mother’s Day, a lot of people start thinking about more than flowers and brunch plans. You start thinking about home.

The space your family grows in. The memories being made there. Whether your current home still fits the life you want moving forward.

Maybe you’ve been thinking about more space, a fresh start, or finally finding a place that feels right for this next chapter.

That’s where Hailey Ditullio comes in.

She’s someone local people trust to make the process feel less overwhelming and a lot more clear. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just exploring your options, she helps guide you through it with honesty, strategy, and real local knowledge.

Because finding the right home isn’t just about real estate. It’s about building the life you actually want to come home to. 🏡💛
