📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Avon-Avon Lake who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Avon-Avon Lake Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top stories in Avon-Avon Lake today:

1. According to cleveland.com, "Week 11 Game Balls went out to: Ethan Holbrook, Avon: Holbrook caught five passes for 204 yards for four TDs in the first half of Avon’s 49-0 win against Westlake. Holbrook and Sam DeTillio, who threw for 226 yards, sat out the second half of the romp. And, Pierden Pepe, Avon Lake: The senior cornerback, who has missed time this season because of injury, had an interception to help spark Avon Lake’s defense in a 26-0 victory against Sylvania Southview. The Shoremen held Southview to just 40 yards." Congratulations athletes! Way to go!(cleveland.com)

3. This November Avon Lake voters will have an opportunity to decide if an income tax increase is necessary to support the Avon Lake safety forces and ensure the quality of care and protection the residents rely on. To learn how the money would be allocated and other details please read this fact sheet - Fact Sheet PDF. (City of Avon Lake)

Patch deal of the day:

Good knives make all the difference in the kitchen, but you don’t need to overpay for them. Seido Japanese knives are made with strong high-carbon stainless steel (high-carbon knives are more durable and usually more expensive) and have an acute 15-degree angle for a noticeably sharper cutting face (most Western-style knives have edge angles of 25 degrees). For a limited time, Patch readers can get a 5-piece Seido Japanese master knife set for 71 percent off. At just under $70, this chef-quality set is perfect for any home cook and would also make a great gift for the holidays.
