PORTSMOUTH, Ohio (AP) — Happy Trails! The southern Ohio city of Portsmouth celebrates hometown hero Roy Rogers in an annual festival this week that also features a new museum’s opening.

A ribbon-cutting will be held Wednesday for the Roy Rogers Memory’s museum that’s intended to be a year-round attraction. Organizers will have movie posters, autographed photos, a cowboy hat and other items on display. A larger museum in Branson, Mo., closed a few years ago after declining attendance.
