Let's see those answers!! Have you completed October's Scavenger Hunt? It's a tough one and we do not yet have a complete 100% correct entry so there is still a chance to win!!

This month's prize is generously sponsored by our friends at Upside Brewing!

🔎THE OCTOBER SCAVENGER HUNT IS NOW LIVE!!! 🔎

Think you know Sylvania? Now's your chance to prove it! Our October Scavenger Hunt is officially underway, with 25 mystery locations waiting for you to identify throughout Sylvania!

And here's where things get interesting…

Our current top three participants have each won the Scavenger Hunt TWICE! That means they can still play, but they can't win a third time. So, this is your chance to knock them off the top spot and claim the title for yourself!

Submit your guesses and get in on the game!

And remember, EVERY submission earns you an entry into our end-of-year grand prize drawing, currently valued at more than $600!

This month's prize is generously sponsored by our friends at Upside Brewing.

Think you've got what it takes?

And stay tuned… we'll soon be announcing our September winner!

Will we see you around the campfire for the Red Bird Sylvania November First Friday? Campfires, shopping, food, and cozy community fun. Swing by the Historical Village for a some campfire stories and stroll through the historic buildings as they glow with the warm, flickering light as they would have in their 19th Century prime.

AUTUMN NIGHTS | FIRST FRIDAY

Friday, November 6 | Starting at 5 PM
We’re celebrating Autumn Nights as part of our November Grateful Thankful series!

Are you in, or are you out?

Listen to The Peace Choir, or gather around a fire pit, a fireplace, or something a little unexpected. Catch up with old friends, meet new ones, and discover what each downtown store and restaurant has planned. They’ll be ready to welcome you in their own way — and grateful you came!

Northview Theatre will also be out performing segments of their upcoming performance of “It’s a wonderful life”.
Live painters on easels!

Let’s share in the simple joys of the season, support our local businesses, and make a few memories together.

Community. Connection. Creativity.
