November Business of the Month- Distinctive Mountain Events

One of the great things about Summit County is the sense of community.  It’s a small area, so we tend to run in to people we know everywhere and as a community we take pride in taking care of each other.  As a regular part of this blog, I would like to focus on a local business and what they offer for Summit County.  Each month I will find one local business to highlight and give you the scoop on what they offer and who they are.
