Next up… Ottawa Holiday Craft Show!

November 7th, 9am-3pm at Ottawa Elementary

I’m excited to invite everyone to our next The Business Collective meeting on Thursday, November 5, from 4–6 PM at 1861 W**e Lounge!

This month, I’ll be sharing “Aligning the Vision With the Experience.” We’ll talk about how the location, atmosphere, and overall approach can make or break an event and why it’s important to make sure the experience matches the vision.

The Business Collective is a great place to connect with other professionals, share ideas, learn from one another, and build relationships right here in our community.

We’re also continuing to collect donations for the Giving Wall at 1861 W**e Lounge, so bring a donation if you can!

I’d love to see some new faces in the room, so come join us, make a connection, and be part of the conversation!

Findlay, THANK YOU!

I don’t even know where to begin. Thank you to everyone who came out to Findlay's Night Market, shared a kind word, offered a well wish, or took a moment to tell me how much you enjoyed the evening. Every bit of support, encouragement, and excitement means more than you know.

Bringing a new event to a community is always a little nerve-wracking, but seeing Findlay show up, embrace the idea, and make it their own has been so rewarding. This market is about more than vendors. It’s about bringing people downtown, supporting our community, creating connections, and giving people another reason to come together.

A very special thank you to my right and left hands, Jen Fulton and Jaelyn Pierce. These two have been such a huge part of bringing this vision to life, and without them, this market wouldn’t be anywhere close to what it is today. I couldn’t do it without their support, hard work, and willingness to jump in wherever they’re needed. I am beyond grateful to have them by my side.

Thank you to the Findlay Young Professionals for your support and for stepping up to help make this event a success. Having community partners who are willing to show up and be part of something new means so much.

Thank you to every vendor, sponsor, musician, volunteer, and community member who played a part in making this happen.

Findlay, thank you for welcoming this new event with open arms. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for Findlay’s Night Market. I’m excited to keep growing it, dreaming bigger, and building something truly special for our community.

This is only the beginning, Findlay. I can’t wait to see where we go from here!

With so much gratitude,

As the preparation begins for Findlay's Night Market it’s wild to me I am preparing for TWO locations. The goal has always been multiple location but never in a millions years did I think the second night market would meet that goal. I am so excited for Saturday but even more excited for 2027 Findlay’s Night Market

Thank you to everyone who has supported and believed in the event ❤️
