We  hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable 4th-of-July  weekend!   Take time to relax and reflect on  the importance of this anniversary, of country’s day of Independence.

Our thoughts and prayers are with our  resident sons and daughters serving overseas in  our  Armed Forces.  They know all too well the value and the sacrifice  that we have paid for our Freedom, and so do our Veterans. Be sure to thank them.

July holds much for our  community. Be sure to check out the calander to see what  is coming up, or you might miss a magical night of music or a very  BIG anniversary for one of our long-time businesses.

Make July a good one.

Our thoughts and prayers  go out to the residents effected by the recent events that  have  swept through the Tuscarawas Valley, especially our Sugarcreek residents who have had to brave torrential downpours of more than 4-inches in an hour and have found  out that  water in their basement may not be covered if they did not have flood insurance.

We have not heard news of anyone being injured from the tornado that came through on Saturday (June 5th), and for that we are thankful. However, our thoughts are with the residents and business owners who have suffered damage to their buildings, or have lost a barn or two.   Read more

May looks to be a busy month here in Sugarcreek.   We’re kicking off with the Dandelion Festival, Community  Wide Sales and  the  Vintage Lawn & Garden Tractor Shows.   The flowers are blooming and there is a lot of work  to be done.

April Showers bring with them clean streets and more activity around the Village and its surrounding area.  For those who want a stronger sense of community,  look forward to the  Sugarcreek Business Association’s  “Celebrate Sugarcreek”  Awards  Banquet  on  April 24th.  Tickets are available at most local businesses, including The Budget, McDonald’s and Jim’s  Sunoco to name a few.

The Celebrate Sugarcreek event  is a great way to honor those who continue to give back to the Sugarcreek Community by honoring them for their efforts, Read more

In Sugarcreek, we like to think of March as the beginning of Spring. It means the the flowers will be blooming eventually, farmers will be getting ready to plow and sow their fields and the snow will find its way out of town.

That generally opens up the town for tourist season as well as community clean up and other initiatives to maintain and improve our village infrastructure. Take care out there.

Here are some Facts about March from Wikipedia: Read more
