July 3rd, 2009 :
I just received an e-mail from the owner of this website, whom I have never met, that I am aware of, but only have internet contact with. We have come to an agreement and I, Steve Wynn, will be taking over the ownership of this website. The previous owner is a constitutional rights attorney from this area but now works for the American Civil Liberties Union in Cleveland.
I have had editing rights for 4 of the pages and last week gave permission to reprint my copyrighted history of Columbus Grove on the 5th page. I have previously given Columbus Grove Public schools and the Village of Columbus Grove permission to copy and reprint this information.
I don't know precisely of any big changes that will be made immediately, but have been collecting a lot of photos which may now appear. Keep checking back to see how this site is progressing and wish me luck.
The Columbus Grove Area Chamber of Commerce works to promote and publicize Columbus Grove as a great place to live and shop. In 2004 the business community came together to promote the village with a full color brochure detailing the community. In 2006 we became the beneficiary of this website which was donated to us at no charge.
In 2006 the Chamber made a $500.00 donation to the Village of Columbus Grove to help upgrade the village Christmas decorations and a second installment was made in 2007.
2007 saw the Chamber of Commerce purchasing a batting cage for use at the softball field at Columbus Grove School. This cage is the property of and will be controlled by the chamber to insure that all teams in the village have access to it. In 2008 the chamber made a donation toward the permanent improvement of Hall Avenue Park including a batting cage there too.
The Chamber is proud to sponsor events that bring the community together and promote growth such as The Christmas Home Tourand Contest, the Outdoor Christmas Decoration Contest, The Columbus Grove Community Scholarship Fund which was initially funded and started by Dick Rimer, the Halloween Parade and Costume Contest, Christmas in the Park Santa Photos and GroveFest.
We're proud to be so active in promoting the local businesses and events and with the increase of over 35 members from outside the Columbus Grove-Pandora area, we are able to invest more in the community. We sincerely thank all the members, both in and out of Columbus Grove for your support and confidence.
