Email: info@chagrinfallsmerchantassociation.com [info@chagrinfallsmerchantassociation.com] if you’d like to be on! Holiday Events in Chagrin Falls this December The Merchants Association events committee has been working super, super hard with the Jaycees and the village to make sure that it's a well rounded, holiday season. - Old-Fashioned Carolers + Carriage Rides - Live Greens and Christmas Trees throughout town - Cash Splash- a chance to win $500! I can't believe we're doing this! The Merchant’s Association is giving away $2,000 cash ($500 each) to 4 lucky patrons! - Window Wonderland Contest - Jingle and Mingle Shopping Event December 19th 6-8pm - Santa Claus in Whoville Saturday, December 21st 11am-2pm Shop Local this Holiday Season Amazon is easy, it's convenient, it's quick. But I challenge everybody this holiday season to shop local. These are our neighbors. The purchase you make at Hedges or Shed or the Popcorn Shop truly supports people that live in this community. And without these owners and shops and all of our support, then this magical place that is Chagrin Falls, wouldn’t be. So let's return that love, especially during the holidays. Visit in January too It's a magical experience here and there's never a bad season to stay and play in Chagrin. They keep the lights up two weeks after the holidays so I always tell people, especially here at the inn because we're pretty booked in December, to come visit then too. The lights are still up, the shops are still open, our Christmas room is open at the Inn, and you can enjoy the town for YOU. You don't have that hustle and bustle, or worry about shopping or buying for others, the shopping can be solely for you. There's never a bad time to come here. This is a public episode.

Martha Vucsko wants you to feel and look your best...

Welcome back to the Chagrin Falls Merchant Association Podcast where we’re talking all things Chagrin Falls and the businesses who reside here. Martha Vucsko joined us in studio this week to share not only her business story but also her holistic approach to business and life.

Take a virtual tour [https://mompreneurco.com/studio] to see for yourself. Why Martha has built her business for 30 years in Chagrin I've been in the industry over 30 years and was one of the very first Med spas in the country. We specialize in facials. So our main focus is, perfecting your skin. Your skin health starts from within We take a holistic approach when somebody comes in. It's not just you're here for a facial in, out, done we really take our time with it. "Your face tells the story of what's going on internally" It's called face mapping. Facials are key because you can inject your skin with anything but if you don't have good skin, it's not going to make a difference because that's just a band-aid. It's not getting to the root and the foundation of everything. Continuing to make people feel and look beautiful with shoes I always had a love for shoe and purses. And I realized there really wasn't a shoe store in town- we had one, but unfortunately during COVID it closed down. So when a space opened right around the corner from La Look I grabbed it and it all just fit together. My clients would always comment on my shoes and now they had a space to get not only those but we also carry: * some apparel * belts * purses * jewelry * and we have a beauty bar as well where they can find products that are totally different than at La Look.

From photography to knitting... Here's how Tiffany's passion turned into her business

Welcome back to the Chagrin Falls Merchant Association Podcast where we’re talking all things Chagrin Falls and the businesses who reside here. Tiffany Perry joined us in studio this week to share not only her business story but also more on the art of knitting. This episode was produced by Megan Moran at Mompreneur Co. Studio [http://mompreneurco.com/]. * Did you know there’s a beautiful meeting space and podcast studio right here in the Falls? Take a virtual tour [https://mompreneurco.com/studio] to see for yourself. I love to knit, but I also love to bring that love to other people. So I love to teach somebody and see them walk away and feeling like they've accomplished something. And I love, when somebody is looking to make something, to maybe introduce them to color combinations they haven't seen before, or show them how they might put that together in a way that they hadn't thought about. We're doing more to foster community. We’re calling it the Winter Adventure Collection [https://www.theartfulyarn.com/store/p826/winter_adventure_collection.html]. It’s a gift set with: * Little gifts from stores in Chagrin Falls. * 12 mini skeins of all natural, hand dyed yarn by a local hand dyer here who lives in Bainbridge. * And knitting and crocheting items. We are doing that for the second year and we have only 75 available.

What's a relationship bank? Carlye and James of First Federal Lakewood are here to show you...

Welcome back to the Chagrin Falls Merchant Association Podcast where we’re talking all things Chagrin Falls and the businesses who reside here. All of my interviews with fellow Clevelanders, have showed me the same unique through line: that we're all so community minded and want to help raise each other up, especially in the small business community. And that’s exactly what I experienced talking with Carlye and James at First Federal Lakewood [https://www.ffl.bank/team/carlye-burwell/]. In this episode they shared: * not only how banking with them is so much deeper than a transaction * but the specific ways they can help your business (that some of the big guys can’t.) The core of their work comes down to: * the relationship * the community * the connection * and being more than just a corporate entity, but real people that are here to help the community and I think that's so beautiful. This episode was produced by Megan Moran at Mompreneur Co. Studio [http://mompreneurco.com/]. * Did you know there’s a beautiful meeting space and podcast studio right here in the Falls?
