Message from the Executive Director

February was a busy month with our Casino Royale, Eclipse Insights, the kick-off of the fourth annual Women's Leadership Series, and the CPR, AED, and First Aid training where ten members were certified. As the weather warms up, we're looking forward to a busy spring season of serving our members!


A special welcome to our news member: ACI Construction Co., Inc., Calico Charlie's Candy & More, Custom Machine, Inc., Diamond Shine Cleaning, Flowerland, and Hoptometry Brewing Company.

We'd like to express our gratitude to each and every one of our members who have renewed their Chamber membership for the month of February! Their commitment to the Chamber not only strengthens the business network but also contributes to the growth and success of our community.

The 2024 Casino Royale was one for the ages! Not only did we have an unforgettable evening filled with more than 100 different prizes, reverse raffle winners, a thrilling horse race, amazing music from The Tim & Liz Show, but we also celebrated a milestone: our largest turnout ever with an incredible 480 attendees!


A massive thank you to all of our major event sponsors, attendees, volunteers, and the incredible staff at Heidelberg University and Parkhurst Dining at Heidelberg for all of their help in making this event such a huge success. We can't wait to see you all again next year! For more pictures of the event, click here. For the recap video, click here.

Congratulations to Jeff Knedler and the entire Hempy Water team on celebrating 20 years of operating in Tiffin!



For two decades, they've gone above and beyond, not just focusing on their bottom line, but also on how they can genuinely uplift and impact our local community. From providing clean and sustainable water solutions to actively engaging in community initiatives, Hempy Water's dedication truly makes a difference.

Join the Seneca Regional Chamber Ambassadors as they host a ribbon cutting to celebrate the grand opening of Hoptometry Brewing Company on Friday, March 15 at 3:30 PM.


The Hoptometry Brewing Company has opened its doors after several years in the making, thanks in part to the persistent patience of the three owners of Zack Allen and Rick and Bryan Sutter. In August 2023 they purchased the former McGowan's Tavern location at 255 South Washington Street in Tiffin.



Hoptometry Brewing Company is committed to fostering an environment of constant excitement, with a rotating selection of beers on tap, bottled offerings, and an evolving cocktail menu. The establishment aims to provide a dynamic experience for its patrons, ensuring that each visit yields the opportunity to discover something new.

Feature Friday - 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.

Destination Seneca County and the Chamber, in partnership with several community organizations, hosted Eclipse Insights last week to assist business owners and community members on preparation efforts for the Total Solar Eclipse on April 8. More than 200 community members attended the three sessions throughout the county.

Ten members are now officially certified in adult first aid, CPR, and AED thanks to last month's special member offering! Members were able to take advantage of getting certified and now can be prepared for whatever situation life puts them in.


Thanks to The Pulse Partner, a trusted American Red Cross partner, this blended course was held partially online and then with a hand on portion at our gracious host site, North Central Ohio Educational Service Center.


At the Chamber, we believe in helping our members succeed in all aspects of their lives and doing good for the world around us. Thank you to all who attended!

We are proud to partner with Kim Radison and KKR Consult LLC to offer a Women's Leadership Series! Last month we kicked off our fourth annual series where participants will benefit from a discussion-based group forma. Participants will also be challenged to create new goals and habits that will move them forward both personally and professionally.


We can't wait to see participants flourish with their newly developed skills and improved leadership qualities!
