New name, new game: Rebranded art fair to drive energy in downtown Perrysburg
When Kelly and Kelly Chalfant decided to focus their lenses on art fairs this year, it was fitting that the Perrysburg couple — yes, both their names are Kelly — would have their photographs accepted into the inaugural Perrysburg Hearts the Arts art fair. The rebranded event is replacing the Levis Commons Fine Art Fair, which had a 19-year run. The Guild of Artists and Artisans, in partnership with Visit Perrysburg, is presenting the arts fair from Friday through Sunday in downtown Perrysburg. “Our decision to relocate the art fair and rebrand it as the Perrysburg Hearts the Arts fair to downtown Perrysburg was driven by the desire to bring more energy and activity to the event,” said Karen Delhey, executive director of The Guild of Artists and Artisans. “The historic downtown provides a vibrant and dynamic setting reminiscent of successful events like the Ann Arbor Art Fair,” she said. “This new location will enhance attendees' experience and foster a thriving environment for artists and local businesses.”

Single-use plastic bags disrupt Toledoans' recycling efforts
OBERLIN, Ohio — Many Toledo residents are used to tossing plastic bags into their blue recycling bins and then forgetting about them. But Dan Schoewe, the operations manager of Republic Services’ Oberlin Recycling Center, doesn’t have that luxury. The plant he runs is the destination for everything Toledoans throw into their curbside recycling cans — whether it’s really recyclable or not. “Perhaps one of the biggest impediments to successful recycling is the tendency of many people to throw stuff into a blue container and simply assume that it will be recycled somehow,” he said. “People frequently put things in recycling bins that can’t be recycled, ranging from plastic bags to bowling balls.” Mr. Schoewe refers to such people as “wishful recyclers” who assume that if they throw something into a blue bin, Republic Services will somehow find a way to recycle it. But that’s not the case.“Know what to throw,” he advises. “And when in doubt, throw it out.”
