Our friends at ACCESS, and our friends (and members!) at Ohio Fire are ready to officially kick off summer downtown! Not only is this a fun party hosted by Ohio Fire (as all of their parties are!), it is also a fundraising event for ACCESS, so you have to be down at Foundation Plaza tomorrow! There is food, there is a co****le tournament, there are horse-drawn carriage rides, there is the culmination of their pie in the face contest, and of course, there is lots of amazing food and drink (in fact, it's a DORA day, so all of your downtown drinks are welcome at Foundation Plaza!) The party starts at 4:30 on the 13th- bring your friends and family and enjoy our beautiful downtown, while you enjoy supporting one of our great charities and their amazing work!

We are excited to be a part of the 3rd Annual Juneteenth Celebration being hosted by our friends (and members!) at the Ashland County Historical Society! They have a full afternoon of education, entertainment, and fun (and food!) planned for next Friday, June 19th. Every year, the Historical Society has expanded and grown this event, and it is a great opportunity to learn not only about the importance of this date, but also about the influence Ashland County had before, during, and after the Civil War. We hope to see you on Center Street next week, learning and enjoying!

Father's Day is just around the corner- are you ready? If you're dad is hard to shop for, or if you have already bought all the golf swag and grilling gadgets and funny socks out there, may we suggest the best present- tickets to our 6th Annual Ashland Ale Fest! Spend the afternoon with your dad trying out and supporting local breweries, listening to great live music, eating super delicious food, checking out some ci**rs and moonshine, and most importantly, hanging out and enjoying spending time with each other! (That really is the best present; we're just providing the perfect venue to do so.)

Get your tickets here: www.ashlandmainstreet.org/event-details/ashland-ale-fest-1

Do you and your dad like to volunteer together?
We still have some volunteer opportunities available, too: https://signup.com/go/rBTYSDv

We are super excited that for our 6th Annual Ashland Ale Fest, not only will we have the great Ohio-brewed beers that you love, but we will also have two special local businesses who will be joining us this year- Ohio Shine Co., with their yummy moonshine straight from the fresh waters of Mansfield, and The Cigar Vault, with their incredible offerings of fine ci**rs (and expert advice on choosing the right one! ) You can sample the delicious and smooth offerings from Ohio Shine by purchasing a Shine-y ticket from our menu (see that link below). Our cigar-wielding friends from Wooster will have their smoking lounge set up with ci**rs you can purchase on site.

We hope you take advantage of the opportunity to expand on your Ale Fest experience, to try not just great local ales, beers, and more, but that you try, well, more! Get your Shine-y tickets and bring some extra bucks for a cigar, and make this Ale Fest the best one yet!

We're on like Donkey Kong! Touch a Truck IS happening downtown today, from 10-1, with 10-11 being quiet-no honking- hours. We're back with our photo op- come see us right in front of our office, right next to the library!

Not sure why the Ashland Police Division is set up across from us. That is a total coincidence, I'm sure.
