At times the traffic may back up a bit and there are so many choices for things to do and places to experience, but we know you will find Sugarcreek has a charm all its own.
Locals and visitors alike will want to help the Sugarcreek Fire Department celebrate its 125th year at its Open House set for Sunday, October 10. There will be tours of the Sugarcreek Fire Department as well as a history of the group. Refreshments will be served.
Plans are taking shape for Christmas in the Village slated for Black Friday, November 26 and Saturday, November 27. Make plans now to attend.

The crisp cool mornings and evenings remind me of football and Swiss Festival. I can’t believe it is here already. It seems like the Fabulous 50s Fling was just a couple weeks ago. This summer has flown by.

Swiss Festival time is here. There is always something for everyone and lots of people in town to keep all of us busy. Hope to see you all there.
The 58th annual Ohio Swiss Festival is set for September 29 – October 2. There will lots to see, do, touch, taste and hear. We have not one, but two parades that weekend and both are sure to be packed with plenty of Kodak moments – so don’t forget your camera!
The Fabulous Fall Sugarcreek Community Garage Sales are always a great way to clean out things you have accumulated over the summer – so plan now to take part. And for those of you who are out of town guests – plan your trip to Sugarcreek for October 15 and 16 for this year’s sales! Maps will be available at the Alpine Hills Museum from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. both days.
Until next time – enjoy the many shades of fall.
