I’m so excited to celebrate Findlay Market.

I come to Findlay at least once a week. My ancestors lived in the surrounding buildings. Findlay is in my blood. Somehow, I can feel that energy and love radiating out to me as I walk toward the market. Cultivating community is part of who I am. When I see the happy people buying food from their neighbors to take home and fill the bellies of their loved ones, I can’t stop beaming. Saying good morning to other patrons and flashing a big smile makes my day. Standing at the counters, chatting with folks, mulling over what to buy, and laughing about how Gibbs Roast beef is life changing makes me feel like I’m with my people.

Thank you for all the work you do to keep Findlay local and supportive of our community and traditions.
