Veteran-founded and family-owned, Freedom Whiskey Company LLC was created to do more than craft exceptional small-batch whiskey. It was built to honor service, remember sacrifice, and give back. Since 2016, Freedom Whiskey has raised more than $215,000 for military and veteran-focused charities — keeping the spirit of community and compassion alive in every bottle.
After founder Capt. Zach Hollingsworth tragically passed in 2021, his wife Krista Hollingsworth took the helm to continue his legacy — carrying forward a mission of awareness, remembrance, and hope. Dayton has been their home and their heart, and Freedom Whiskey remains deeply rooted in giving back to the community that has given them so much.
This month, we’re thrilled to spotlight a one-of-a-kind boutique nestled in the heart of Uptown Centerville — shoppe smitten. (more…)
This month, we’re sprinkling a little magic into our Local Business Spotlight with The Fairy Godmother Events, a theme-park-quality entertainment company bringing joy to families and communities across Dayton, Cincinnati, and beyond. (more…)
✨☕🍦 Local Business Spotlight: Taylor’s Coffee & Creamery 🍦☕✨
Some places are more than just shops; they become part of the heartbeat of the town. That’s exactly what Taylor’s Coffee & Creamery has done since opening in October 2024 in downtown Waynesville.
Owned by locals Jona Powell, Julie Abel, and Angie Lewis-Wagner, Taylor’s was created as a gathering place where families celebrate, friends catch up over lattes, and neighbors stop in for ice cream or a pastry from a local maker.
And while community spirit is at it’s core, Taylor’s has also been making headlines (and going viral!) with their 34oz iced coffee buckets, latte flights, and sundae flights that bring a whole lot of fun to every visit. In their very first year, they’ve already been recognized as Best Caffeine Kick and Best New Addition to Waynesville; more proof that this storybook café is something special.
Support local. Sip coffee. Savor ice cream. Make memories. ✨ Stop by Taylor’s Coffee & Creamery in downtown Waynesville and see why it’s quickly become a hometown favorite.
It’s heating up in a big way this week — and we’ve got the coolest giveaway to help you beat the heat! 🥵➡️🍦
