And in full transparency, I am putting this newsletter together last minute. Now everything that needs to be here is here...but could I, should I have done it sooner? Why yes, I should have.

Highlights for the Week: the Small Business Showcase is happening so very soon!, final days to submit to the Crafterpreneur Contest, opportunities in Akron, and our drink connoisseurs 🧃
