📢 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 readers to local businesses they need to know. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

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