Kicking Off the Holiday Season!

On Saturday, November 26th, we had a joyous time seeing our community come together for Shop Small Saturday, the Christmas Walk and the Christmas Crawl! So many local businesses and community members help to make this event special, and we were so excited to see this tradition continue after a pause during the pandemic.

We had a great time seeing our community out shopping at Barberton’s small businesses and vendors, taking photos with Santa, participating in festive events at Barberton Library, joining us for the Christmas Lighting at Lake Anna, Christmas carols – and enjoying all of the other day’s events! The Christmas Crawl was also a great time, featuring raffles, an ugly sweater contest and more fun. These local establishments participated this year:

  • Fehr’s Corner Cafe
  • VFW
  • Ignite Brewing Co.
  • El Tule Mexican Bar & Grille
  • Liedertafle
  • The Pregame Tavern
  • MandM’s Taphouse
  • Green Diamond Grille & Pub
  • Hungarian Club
  • Block 7 Bar & Grill

These events were a great way to kick off the holiday season, and we’re so excited to see how the festivities grow next year!
