Launch Date Announced for Slice of Seneca County Pizza and Geocaching Trail

Destination Seneca County and the Seneca Regional Chamber of Commerce have announced the launch date of their Slice of Seneca County Pizza and Geocaching Trail for June 17, 2023. The trail allows residents and visitors to explore Seneca County one slice at a time by supporting six different pizza eateries to redeem a Slice of Seneca County t-shirt or locating 19 pizza-related geocaches to receive a limited-edition and trackable two-piece geocaching coin. Participants can choose to complete each individual portion of the trail or both together.

Passports can be downloaded online and printed out by visiting www.SenecaPizzaTrail.com, or be picked up at the front desk of Hampton Inn of Tiffin starting on June 17, 2023. All passports of the Slice of Seneca County Pizza and Geocaching Trail must be turned in at the Hampton Inn of Tiffin to redeem the geocaching coin and/or t-shirt. Once completed and turned into the Hampton Inn of Tiffin, participants will receive 25% off a room stay that night (contingent on room availability).

Chamber to Launch Lemonade Day in Tiffin in Partnership with Croghan Colonial Bank

The Chamber has announced that they have partnered with Croghan Colonial Bank to launch Lemonade Day in Tiffin for 2023.

Lemonade Day, a well-established global national youth entrepreneurship program that teaches leadership and business skills by encouraging children to launch a lemonade business in their community. Since 2007, Lemonade Day has immersed 1.5 million kids (and counting) in their entrepreneurial and experiential learning program. Participants have collectively earned more than $352.5 million in sales, generating $270 million in profit, and $142.5 million in donations.

Chaperoned by one or more caring adults, who serves as youth mentors, these young business owners set up their lemonade stands in schools, parks, neighborhoods, places of worships, retail centers, marketplaces, and other public spaces to maximize their sales opportunities. Kids who participate in Lemonade Day are taught how to set goals, develop a business plan and pitch their plan to seek an investment, be creative through brand and marketing, and put their plan into action to achieve their dreams. They are encouraged to spend some of their hard-earned money on themselves; save some and open a bank account and share some with a charity.

Lemonade Day will conclude with the opportunity for participants to set up a lemonade stand on August 5 and 6. Those who are interested in signing up for the program can do so online at www.LemonadeDay.org/Tiffin. Learn more here.

We’re happy to welcome Thrive Wellness Dispensary as a new member of the Chamber. They are opening their new location at 318 West Market Street in the next week. They’re looking to learn a bit more about Tiffin, so they can better understand and serve the cannabis patient community. Please take a moment to take their survey here. It will take no more than a minute of your time! You don’t have to be a current medical marijuana cardholder to participate.

The River Poker Club Celebrates New Location

Congratulations to The River Poker Club on their new location at 870 West Market Street, in the former RadioShack location in the Tiffin Mall.

They strive to provide a safe and clean inviting atmosphere that welcomes card players of all ages. They look forward to giving back to the community and making our community a better place.

The Deli at Frost Village Cuts Ribbon to Celebrate Opening

Congratulations to the team at The Deli at Frost Village on their ribbon cutting!

Local business owners, Dave and Amber Spridgeon, renovated a 1913 church on Frost Parkway into a New York style deli. The current space showcases original wood floors, a vaulted ceiling, stained-glass window, and chandeliers that simulate dawn and dusk on a cloud painted ceiling.

Inspired by a traditional New York style deli, you won't have to travel as far to get the same experience right here in Tiffin. Deli is now defined as hot soups, fresh salads by the pound, and two-fisted sandwiches. Walking through the doors you will be greeted with smell the fresh baked bread, the visually stunning floral arrangements to match the historical stained glass that adorns the building, and the smiling staff waiting to make you up something delicious!

The Deli at Frost Village is located at 155 Frost Parkway and is open Monday through Thursday, 8 AM to 3 PM and Friday and Saturday 8 AM to 7 PM. Enjoy the scenes of the historic Frost Village, grab a bite to eat, and enjoy all that Seneca County has to offer! For more pictures of the ribbon cutting, click here.

Welcome new member, Tiffin Inflatables! Aaron, Tiffin native, and Amanda, from Marblehead, met at work and decided to buy a home and raise their family in Tiffin. They always loved to have their daughters’ birthday parties at their home so they weren’t limited to how many friends and family they could invite. Their favorite addition to these celebrations was a bounce house rental. Unfortunately, the rental came from further and further away every year. That’s when Aaron and Amanda had the idea to open their own inflatable rental company, right here in Tiffin.

Tiffin Inflatables began operations in August 2022, despite plans of launching in April 2023. After providing inflatables for some events for friends, word quickly spread of their services. Due to community support and demand, Aaron and Amanda opened their business early.

Tiffin Inflatables strives to make the best experience possible, for any occasion, while building strong customer relationships along the way. To support their business and check out their services, visit their Facebook or email them at TiffinInflatables@gmail.com.
