The Around the Town event hosted by the Seneca Regional Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Heidelberg University and Tiffin University will take place on Madison Street in between South Washington Street and Jefferson Street in Downtown Tiffin on August 20 at 12:30 PM.

The Around the Town event gives incoming and returning students the opportunity to become familiar with the businesses and organizations that make up Seneca County. In previous years, nonprofit organizations have been successful in recruiting volunteers from the universities at this event.

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.
