Calvert Catholic Schools Dedicate Upgrades to "Zip" Zalar Field

The Chamber team and ambassadors joined Nick Palm, Karl "Zip" Zalar's family, and members of the Calvert Catholic Schools family to celebrate the dedication of the upgrades made to “Zip” Zalar Field.

Nick Palm, a standout individual on the field (first team All-Ohio in 2022) and off the field, chose to renovate “Zip” Zalar Field as part of his senior year class project. Nick, with the assistance of his grandfather, Fred Shelt, and others, completely renovated the backstop of the field and added netting to the backstop and dugouts. With Nick’s passion for baseball and their family’s life-long friendship with the Zalar family, it made this project an obvious choice for him to upgrade Zip Zalar field.

Karl “Zip” Zalar began teaching at Tiffin Calvert High School after serving our country. He enjoyed a fruitful career of 45 years coaching football, basketball, baseball, and golf while also serving as athletic director. His talents to build athletic programs and gain the respect of his athletes proved a trademark for “Zip”. His athletic teams during those 45 years won over 65 percent of their contests which included numerous championships.

There will be a plaque that honors the donors that helped make this project possible through the funding of $35,000 from donations, gifts in kind and time. For more pictures of the ribbon cutting, click here.

It's time for spring cleaning! The Chamber has partnered with We Love To Shred to offer a free document shredding event to our community.

A truck will be parked in City Lot #6 (off of South Monroe Street) in Tiffin from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM (or until the truck fills up) on May 19 to destroy and recycle documents in real time. Please enter the parking lot using the South Monroe Street entrance closest to First Presbyterian Church and exit onto Madison Street after your vehicle is unloaded.

Documents can be brought in bags, boxes, or totes - just let us know if you would like them returned to you!

The Elks is a private club that has monthly new member ceremonies, family build a burger nights, entertainment events as well as their largest event, a gun raffle. They also have a beautiful cozy back patio that is open year-round and is especially popular in the summer months. The Elks is a small "family-like" club. It is common for everyone in the club to know many of the other members and members are often greeted by name as they walk into the door. The Elks also have a gambling license that allows them to have pull tabs, gaming machines, and they recently welcomed back Keno.

The Elks has an online application at elks.org as well as applications available at the club. One of the best parts of the Elks is that in order to be a member, your application has to be approved. If approved, there is a special initiation ceremony for new members unlike any other club in Seneca County. In tradition, it is asked that the initiation ceremony experience not be shared with non-members. Joining the Elks is more than just joining a club. The ceremony gives new members a wholesome feeling of what it means to be an Elk. Once an Elk, the membership is good for all Elks lodges in the country.

The Elks is located at 106 E Perry St and the phone number is 419-447-2818 for any questions. Click here for more information.

Tiffin native, Kate Wertz is the founder and owner of both Rose & Co. Mercantile and her newest business, Events by Rose & Co.

At Rose & Co., Kate began creating custom floral arrangements for her customers’ weddings, homes, and gatherings, as well as providing decorating and wedding advice. She realized that the community valued and needed her design style and knowledge. When it came to her own wedding, Kate found that quality décor rentals were hard to come by in Seneca County.

From Kate’s previous design experience in the wedding industry and the community’s need for décor rentals and advice, Events by Rose & Co. was born! Renting décor is much more financially friendly and less stressful than purchasing everything yourself. Events by Rose & Co. offers event design and décor options, vintage furniture, backdrops, table décor, faux and dried floral arrangements, and even day-of-coordination. They want to make decorating and planning your event accessible, financially responsible, and sustainable by offering the option to rent instead of buying everything.

To check out their services and available rentals, you can visit Rose & Co. Mercantile, at 134 S. Washington St, or go to their website: www.eventsbyroseandco.com; if you don’t see what you’re looking for, be sure to reach out as they may have it, as they are always adding new items! Be sure to follow them on Facebook and Instagram to see what’s new. Click here for more information.
