Spoofing Attempts

I would like to take the time to inform you that the Chamber team has been subject of several email spoofs, and I would like to provide you with information on this. There have been emails circulating from the address gina@decorativepoolsinc.com that are pretending to be Deb and Bryce to some extent.

Please do not click on anything, on these emails, and report it to your respective IT team, so they can block the “decorativepoolsinc.com” domain from your email service. This email is not being sent from our accounts. Please make sure when you receive emails to check the email address that its being sent from instead of the display name. Thank you for your patience as we work to get this resolved!

Happy Feature Friday, where every Friday the Chamber team will highlight one of our fantastic members by repping them for the day and telling the community more about them. This week's Feature Friday is: The Seneca County Museum!

The vision of the Seneca County Museum is to inspire a sense of place and history for Seneca County by collecting, studying, interpreting, and preserving the region’s cultural and natural heritage. The Museum is the resource for scholars, historians, and educators as well as history buffs. The Museum preserves and catalogs important objects and documents and uses those items to provide educational and cultural programs for the public.

While you are at the museum, make sure to say hello to the official mascot, Duckie McQuacker! Duckie is everyone's favorite four legged duck and serves as an icon for children's activities, "Adventures with Duckie McQuacker." You can also experience

their speaker series and other community events they host.

The Seneca County Museum is an official stop on the Northwest Ohio Cultural Heritage Passport and offer so many opportunities to learn about what laid the foundation of our beautiful community we know today. Thank you to the volunteers, staff, and supporters of the Seneca County Museum for making this resource available and fun for all! We love having the Seneca County Museum as a Chamber member and look forward to many more years of impact to come. Learn more here.

Join the Chamber Ambassadors as they host a ribbon cutting on Thursday, April 20, 2023, at 4:30 PM to celebrate the new location of Rocking ER Farm Store at 8 South Main Street in Attica! They'll have their official grand opening on April 22 with samples of syrups, honey, BBQ sauces, and seasonings.

Rocking ER Farm Store was established in 2020. Elizabeth and Robby's son, Riley, rodeoed and he wanted to help pay some of his entry fees and started to sell produce in 2017. Each year they continued to grow and finally outgrew their pop-up tent. The ideas began to roll in and Rocking ER Farm Store was created that would offer a wide variety of products all-year round.

Rocking ER Farm Store is a country store with a variety of items; from home décor, candy, pet supplies, unique gifts, clothing, and more! They also have locally-made products including health and beauty products, candles and wax melts, hides, signs, tables, benches, flags, jewelry, and more. They'll be carrying locally made donuts from Lisa's Ice Cream on Wednesdays and Sundays.
