PEMBERVILLE, Ohio — When North Toledoans Mike and Mary Stockner planned a date night that revolved around polka, they always took their daughter, Dorothy.

Now Dorothy Romp and living in Monclova, she took several turns around the dance area Sunday at the Pemberville Polka Party in the Park. “When there’s music, I want to be there,” Mrs. Romp said. “My mother and dad belonged to the Bavarian Sports Club in Toledo, and every dance, they took me with them — never a babysitter.

Perrysburg Twp. trustees will rebid $3.7M administration building project
The process to build a new Perrysburg Township administration building has reversed. At this week’s meeting, the trustees voted to rebid the $3.7 million project after an attorney for one of the companies that was not awarded the construction bid complained about the process. The bid had been awarded to Rudolph Libbe Inc., of Walbridge, Ohio, on June 5. “Since that time, one of the other firms has contested the proposal, saying that it had deficiencies,” said township Administrator Jon Eckel. “I have talked with our attorneys and to avoid any future problems or issues with this, we have decided that we will redraft that proposal.”

Wendy’s Trolling McDonald’s in Ohio is Hilariously Diabolical
Wendy's has taken their trolling of McDonald's up a notch and it's going viral. It's worth noting that Wendy's is the underdog in this battle, and always has been. For example, looking at annual revenue, McDonald's is the second-largest Fast Food brand in the U.S. under Starbucks in 2024. Wendy's is the 12th largest on that same chart according to BrandDirectory.com. When you're the underdog, you have a little more freedom to think outside of the box with advertising and marketing.
