Findlay, THANK YOU!
I don’t even know where to begin. Thank you to everyone who came out to Findlay's Night Market, shared a kind word, offered a well wish, or took a moment to tell me how much you enjoyed the evening. Every bit of support, encouragement, and excitement means more than you know.
Bringing a new event to a community is always a little nerve-wracking, but seeing Findlay show up, embrace the idea, and make it their own has been so rewarding. This market is about more than vendors. It’s about bringing people downtown, supporting our community, creating connections, and giving people another reason to come together.
A very special thank you to my right and left hands, Jen Fulton and Jaelyn Pierce. These two have been such a huge part of bringing this vision to life, and without them, this market wouldn’t be anywhere close to what it is today. I couldn’t do it without their support, hard work, and willingness to jump in wherever they’re needed. I am beyond grateful to have them by my side.
Thank you to the Findlay Young Professionals for your support and for stepping up to help make this event a success. Having community partners who are willing to show up and be part of something new means so much.
Thank you to every vendor, sponsor, musician, volunteer, and community member who played a part in making this happen.
Findlay, thank you for welcoming this new event with open arms. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for Findlay’s Night Market. I’m excited to keep growing it, dreaming bigger, and building something truly special for our community.
This is only the beginning, Findlay. I can’t wait to see where we go from here!
With so much gratitude,
