01 — Worth knowing In the newsThree local stories this week, plus a few worth your money.
A bold new direction: MCPA unveiled Vision 2035, a ten-year plan to strengthen Findlay’s cultural hub, expand arts education, diversify funding, and elevate its top leadership role to president and chief executive officer -- see the arts plan.
Stay connected anytime: Hancock County Veterans Service Office launched an app June 18 to keep veterans informed with news, events, resiliency updates, and interest-based alerts, available on Apple App Store and Google Play -- see what the app offers.
A milestone in giving: Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation has surpassed $100 million in grants and stewards over $200 million in assets, reflecting donor support for downtown development, parks, housing, arts, and human services -- see the giving milestone.
Thoughtful Father's Day gifts, ready by Sunday. Father's Day is tomorrow, which makes shipping anything now a gamble you'll probably lose. Skip it entirely. A whole range of Father's Day gifts is ready for same-day pickup in hours, so something personal is well within reach by tomorrow. -- get it today.*
The bill all retirees should double check: Car insurance. If you’ve been on the same plan for years, you might be paying way more than you need to. It’s an easy one to forget about, but switching could save you up to $600 this year. Case in point: I shopped around and ended up cutting my premium in half — this free comparison tool makes it easy.*
Your insurance won't cover a $12,000 HVAC bill: If your furnace quits before it warms up, your homeowners insurance will tell you it's a "maintenance issue" and wish you luck. Insurance covers sudden disasters. It doesn't cover the systems that wear out over time, and those are the expensive ones. A home warranty is built for exactly this. HVAC, water heater, appliances, plumbing, electrical... all covered for less than $1/day with no age restrictions on what's covered. You call, they send a tech, you pay a service fee. They handle the rest -- this one's $150 off right now.* Highlights this week: |
02 — From our sponsor Gold just posted its strongest run in decades...And the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility. While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning. If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, GoldCo has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now. It’s free and worth reading before the next move.* |
03 — On our radar
Local business spotlightNearby spots we'd actually send a friend to.
Quick hibachi fix: When the fridge is judging you, Hibachi Dash comes through with sizzling hibachi plates, fresh sushi, and portions that make tomorrow’s lunch a no-brainer. Order ahead, swing by, and enjoy an easy win right here in Findlay while that sauce situation does the heavy lifting.
Sneak out this week: Shadylake Campground brings easy breathing room to your week with 130 RV sites, year-round access, and on-site fishing, horseshoe pits, and barbecue pits. Round up your crew, swap doomscrolling for s’mores, and enjoy a low-key reset that still lets you sleep near your own coffee.
Dial in your swing: Sycamore Springs Golf Course is your dependable 18-hole escape just south of town, with plenty of room to practice and unwind. Gather a couple friends, chase a few birdies, and call it cardio you actually enjoy.

04 — Our recommendations
We got your backA handful of products and services we think are worth a look.
The real retirement risk isn't a bad year, it's a long life: 40 years of saving, and the hard part is making it stretch across 30 more. SmartAsset's free quiz matches you with vetted fiduciary advisors who serve your area and are legally required to act in your best interests. The plan is built around you, not their commission. No obligation to hire anyone. *Start the quiz →
Carrying $5,000 or more on your cards? Stop the interest charges: A balance that size racks up interest fast, and at today's rates it barely budges no matter how much you pay. This card gives you 0% intro APR until 2028 on balance transfers (made in the first 60 days), with a $0 annual fee. That means almost two years to pay down what you owe with no interest charges. *See if it's a fit →
The slower you walk, the more it works: Tai Chi walking is trending online. Turns out it's centuries old — slow deliberate steps, paced breath, attention on the body. Thirty minutes a day burns fat, lifts your mood, and builds balance. No gym, no treadmill, no pounding on the joints. Take the quick quiz to see if it fits, then use code BASELOCAL for a discount on the coaching plan. *See how it works →
The conversation no man wants to have with his doctor: Turns out ~70% of men over 50 are avoiding the exact same one. The hesitation, the awkward throat-clear, the hoping it just sorts itself out… you're far from alone. The good news? You don't need the waiting room at all. What used to mean a face-to-face appointment and an uncomfortable pharmacy run now takes a few clicks from the couch — discreet online evaluation, personalized treatment shipped straight to your door. *No appointment, no awkward small talk →
Get cash back on your gas, groceries, and dining: This is real cash, not points you have to convert like credit card rewards. There are no coupons to clip and no deals to hunt down, you just claim an offer, pay with your linked card, and the cash back lands automatically. You can set it up in minutes and start earning on your very next purchase. *Start earning → |

05 — The event calendar Around town today & tomorrowOur favorite events going on the rest of this weekend. Dates, times, and locations are subject to change. Always check official event pages before heading out.
🍩 Donuts with Dad @ Children's Museum of Findlay | Saturday (6/20) at 9:00 AM – Donuts with Dad serves up sugar and playtime in one kid-approved package, perfect for proving you’re fun without assembling a trampoline. It’s free for members, or with day admission, and registration is required, because sprinkles may be unlimited but space isn’t.
🧘 Taproom Yoga @ Findlay Brewing Company | Saturday (6/20) at 10:00 AM – If your hamstrings feel like they’ve been aging in oak, Taproom Yoga at Findlay Brewing is your kind of tune-up. Erin Teegardin leads a beginner-friendly flow, then you sip, chat, and call it wellness. No headstands, just hometown vibes, and flexible goals.
💎 Hidden Treasure Weekend Outdoor Market @ Blast From the Past | Saturday (6/20) at 10:00 AM – An outdoor market pops up at Blast from the Past with antiques, vintage oddities, handmade gems, and the kind of collectibles you swear your uncle had. It is free, family friendly, and gloriously rummage-heavy, where the best finds usually hide under something slightly weirder.
🚗 Hot Rods & Ink Cruise In @ Embassy Ink and Gallery | Saturday (6/20) at 12:00 PM – Nothing beats shiny fenders and fresh ink in one place, so roll into Embassy Ink for a family-friendly cruise-in. Flash designs, a pinstriper, custom trophies, and Kevin's Kajunette keep it lively, no burnouts, just good company and properly admired chrome.
✊ Juneteenth 2026 Celebration @ Black Heritage Library & Multicultural Center | Saturday (6/20) at 1:00 PM – Back again, this Juneteenth celebration packs live music, local vendors, serious eats, and history and culture demos that feel more like porch conversations. You’ll come for the groove and the barbecue, you’ll stay for the stories, and you’ll leave pleasantly overfed, and a bit wiser.
🎸 Punk with Purpose @ The FBC Annex | Saturday (6/20) at 6:00 PM – Trade lawn mowing for loud guitars at an all-ages punk benefit at The FBC Annex. Resignation, Lame Ass Dads, Cash K. Allen & Honorable Mentions, and Birdie keep it rowdy, there is no cover, and donations support NAMI Hancock County.
🎉 100 Proof @ Moose Lodge #698 | Saturday (6/20) at 7:00 PM – 100 PROOF is back at the Findlay Moose, turning the patio into our unofficial summer living room. Expect big singalongs, cold drinks, and the good kind of loud. Bring a lawn chair, arrive early, and pretend we all still go out after dark. Live music & entertainment:
