firmly rooted in the community Jacob has always called home.

Born and raised in Logan County, Jacob says there was never much question about where he wanted to build his business. “This is my home and I am passionate about taking care of my community and the people living here,” he says.

That philosophy is evident in the company’s work. Logan Lawn & Landscaping offers an impressive range of services, including full-service mowing, mulching, trimming, fertilization and weed treatment, planting, landscape rejuvenation, landscape lighting, ornamental tree trimming, sod installation, seeding and aeration, decorative stone, landscaping walls, hardscaping, irrigation, seasonal cleanups, snow removal, and more. If you’re interested in any of these services, you can check out their website or give Jake & his team a call at (937) 465-3370.

Whether a customer needs a simple lawn maintained or an entire outdoor space transformed, the team approaches each property with the same philosophy: take care of it as if it were your own.

Jacob makes that expectation clear to every member of his team. “When we show up to a property, we’re not just completing a task — we’re investing in someone’s space, their comfort, and their trust.”

That attention to detail has helped Logan Lawn & Landscaping build lasting relationships with customers — including many who have a special place in Jacob’s heart.

One of the most rewarding parts of the business for Jacob is serving elderly customers.

Many of these clients spent decades caring for their own homes and properties but have reached a point where the physical demands of lawn care and landscaping have become difficult. Logan Lawn & Landscaping provides more than a well-manicured lawn; the team provides a helping hand and peace of mind.

For Jacob, seeing the comfort and happiness that brings his customers makes the work especially meaningful.

Behind every beautifully maintained property is a team of dedicated professionals. Logan Lawn & Landscaping currently has eight employees, each bringing their own expertise to the operation:

• Jacob Vitt — Owner & Founder
• Austin Springer — Field Manager/Head of Seeding & Fertilization
• TJ King — Hardscape Team Foreman
• Landon King — Mowing Foreman
• Wyatt Bell — Head Mechanic
• Jake Woodruff — Landscape Foreman
• Tate Derr — Mowing Foreman
• Liza Holliday — Office Manager

Liberty flowers and civic signs, while also supporting the community through sponsorships of youth sports teams, contributions to 4-H and county fair projects, and support for student-centered events at West Liberty-Salem schools.

And now, after a year as a Logan County Chamber member, Jacob is excited to deepen those community connections.

Jacob’s story is a great reminder that entrepreneurship doesn’t always begin with a business plan, a warehouse, or the latest equipment. Sometimes, it starts with a push mower and the willingness to work.
His advice to aspiring entrepreneurs is simple: don’t be afraid to start small.

You don’t need top-of-the-line equipment right away, he says. Instead, focus on doing your best with the resources you have, avoid putting yourself in a financial hole, and be patient as you grow. “When you consistently invest your time and energy into serving people well, the opportunities — and the upgraded equipment — will follow naturally.”

That mindset has served Logan Lawn & Landscaping well for 36 years.

And if you ask Jacob what he’s looking forward to as the business heads into 2026, his answer is refreshingly simple: “I’m excited for how GREEN and thick the grass is — in August!”

We’re proud to recognize a hometown business that continues to grow by putting people, quality work, and community first. Here’s to Logan Lawn & Landscaping many more years of helping Logan County — one lawn, landscape, and relationship at a time!

Please join us in congratulating Logan Lawn & Landscaping as being the Logan County Chamber of Commerce September 2026 Business of the Month!

insurance agency with a simple vision: provide customized insurance products at affordable rates by shopping multiple options through quality insurance companies while supporting and protecting the local community.
​
Nearly 100 years later, that mission continues to guide the agency.

Today, Sloan Insurance Center is a division of Ohio Insurance & Financial Services, a larger agency group with 13 offices and more than 40 licensed insurance professionals throughout Ohio. The Sloan team includes a remarkable depth of experience, with several team members having spent decades serving local clients.

​That commitment to local service is reflected in Sloan Insurance Center’s experienced team. Many of their insurance professionals have spent decades building relationships with clients and families throughout Logan County and the surrounding communities. Their combined knowledge, experience, and genuine care for the people they serve have helped make Sloan Insurance Center a trusted local resource for generations. It’s that personal connection and dedication to their clients that continues to set the agency apart today.

For Sloan Insurance Center, Logan County isn't simply where they do business — it's home.

The agency has been located at its current Bellefontaine location at 1413 S. Main Street since 1974, while the Russells Point location at 207 E. Main Street has served the community since 1986.

"Bellefontaine, Indian Lake, and Logan County have always been home for our group," the Sloan team shared. "Between our ownership and staff over the years, we've always been local people living, working, and worshiping within the local community."

That local perspective is also central to the agency's independent business model. Rather than representing just one insurance company, Sloan Insurance Center represents its clients. The team takes time to understand each customer's individual needs, then shops multiple quality insurance companies to find customized coverage that fits both their needs and budget.

The agency offers Auto, Home, Farm, Investment Property, Business, Life, and Medicare insurance products.

Their philosophy is straightforward: "Take care of our clients and they will take care of us!"

While insurance is about preparing for the unexpected, Sloan Insurance Center knows that sometimes the unexpected can be devastating.

Following the March 2024 tornado that severely impacted the Indian Lake community, the Sloan team was proud to be there for their clients when they needed help the most.

"We were proud to be there when our clients needed us most to help put their lives back together through insurance coverage," the team shared.

The gratitude they received from clients — through office visits, phone calls, emails, and even gifts — was especially meaningful to the team and reinforced why local, personal service matters.

Sloan Insurance Center also gives back year-round as a proud annual supporter of the Logan County Fair and livestock sales. The agency supports numerous local charities, schools, and organizations, including local Kiwanis and Rotary chapters and the Logan County Sheriff's Office through various sponsorships.

only local insurance agency with a drive-thru service window at its Bellefontaine office.

In 2016, Sloan Insurance Center merged with another local agency, NU-Insurance & Associates, and in 2023, the agency expanded further with the purchase of Hollanshead-Kinsey Agency in Russells Point.

The agency's parent organization, Ohio Insurance & Financial Services, is also celebrating a major milestone in 2026 — 50 years in business. The organization will celebrate with a public event on September 17 from 1–4 p.m. at Nelson Insurance in Kenton.

As Sloan Insurance Center looks toward the future, the team continues to believe that the fundamentals of a successful local business haven't changed.

"Starting a business is never easy! It takes time, but in the end, the long hours and hard work pay off," they shared. "Best of all, as a local business owner, you can have a direct impact on supporting the success of your local community!"

Sloan Insurance Center is currently looking to add team members with a background and skillset in customer service. Insurance licensing and related experience are a plus, but not required. Ideal candidates will also have a passion for supporting and being involved in the local community. Interested applicants can contact Sloan Insurance Center through OHInsuranceServices.com or contact the Bellefontaine Sloan Insurance Center office.

From Dick and Winnie Sloan's vision in 1928 to today's team of experienced insurance professionals, Sloan Insurance Center's story is one of longevity, local commitment, and relationships built on trust.

For 98 years, the agency has remained focused on a simple purpose: knowing its clients, understanding their needs, and being there when it matters most. We’re excited to celebrate the people, history, and commitment that have made Sloan Insurance Center a trusted part of the Logan County community.

Please join us in congratulating Sloan Insurance Center as the Logan County Chamber of Commerce August 2026 Business of the Month!

​Behind the scenes, Bobbi's Bungalow is truly a family effort. While Roberta serves as owner and hostess, her husband, Jeff Yoder, plays an essential role in maintaining the property. Whether repairing, renovating, or tackling the next improvement project, Jeff's craftsmanship and dedication help preserve the home's historic charm while ensuring every guest enjoys a comfortable stay.

Even the name "Bobbi's Bungalow" has a story. As a child, Roberta was known as "Bobbi Jo" until she transferred schools and decided to go by her given name after meeting another classmate named Bobby. Years later, when searching for the perfect name for her guest house, "Bobbi's Bungalow" simply felt right. While friends know her as Roberta, the childhood nickname has become a memorable part of the business's identity.

For Roberta, West Liberty has always felt like home, making it the perfect place to welcome visitors. One of her favorite parts of hosting is introducing guests to everything Logan County has to offer. Whether recommending a favorite local restaurant, suggesting a scenic park, or pointing visitors toward unique shops and community events, she enjoys helping guests discover why so many people fall in love with the area.

That personal approach reflects Bobbi's Bungalow's guiding philosophy: treat every guest the way you would want to be treated. It's a simple principle, but one that has helped build a business based on repeat visits, referrals, and exceptional reviews. Over the past ten years, hundreds of guests from across the United States and beyond have stayed at the bungalow, with many describing it as a true home away from home.

The business's commitment to excellence has not gone unnoticed. Bobbi's Bungalow has twice been voted Best Airbnb/Cottage in Logan County, has been recognized as a West Liberty Business of the Month, and has earned Airbnb Superhost status numerous times – ​including currently – while consistently receiving five-star reviews from guests.

​Community involvement has also been a cornerstone of Bobbi's Bungalow's success. Roberta has sponsored events through the West Liberty Business Association, participated in the Christmas Tour of Homes, served on the West Liberty Business Association Board, and volunteered for numerous community activities. She believes that when visitors have a wonderful experience and local businesses support one another, the entire community benefits.

That same spirit led her to join the Logan County Chamber of Commerce ten years ago. Since then, she has remained actively involved through Leadership Logan County, Women's Business Network, HR Roundtable meetings, educational workshops, the AAA Travel Show, and countless Chamber networking events. Building relationships with fellow business owners has been one of the most rewarding aspects of her Chamber membership.
​
When asked what advice she would offer aspiring entrepreneurs, Roberta's answer reflects the values that have guided Bobbi's Bungalow from the beginning: don't be afraid to start, never stop learning, build strong relationships, and always provide outstanding customer service. Success doesn't happen overnight, she says, but consistency, integrity, and caring about people will always make a difference.

sat down as a family and asked ourselves an honest question: Did we want this to stay a hobby we all enjoyed, or did we want to build something?" 

They chose to build. 

The family began selling at farmers markets and local events, listening carefully to customers and learning what people loved. As demand grew, so did the business. A pivotal moment came when co-owner Erika Davis walked into Grove City’s Giant Eagle Market District and simply asked if they would be interested in carrying Nate's Nectar products. That conversation led to the company's first major retail opportunity, and the momentum hasn't slowed since. 

Today, Nate's Nectar products can be found in retail stores across the country, online marketplaces, regional grocery chains, and even on national television. In March, the company made its debut on QVC and completely sold out during its first appearance. They'll return to QVC on June 30, with another appearance already scheduled for July. 

Despite the national growth, the heart of the company remains firmly rooted in Logan County. For the Davis family, choosing Logan County wasn't really a choice at all. "We were all born and raised here." 

As a local farm family, they built their facility and commercial kitchen on their own land, allowing them to grow the business while staying connected to the community that helped shape them. That local connection remains a major part of who they are today. 

Nate's Nectar is truly a family operation, with each member playing an important role in the business's success. The team includes: Nathan Davis – Co-Owner & Business Development, Erika Davis – Co-Owner & Marketing Management, Lauryn Strayer – Operations & Candles, Marissa Davis – Operations & Hair Care, Jessica Finch – Skin Care, Tim Davis – Operations, and Emily Davis – Operations. Every member of the team has been involved since the beginning, and every product is still made with love in small batches from their FDA-certified kitchen located on the family's farm near Bloom Center. ​

varieties. The gift-friendly packaging became an instant hit during the holiday season, selling out completely.

Customer demand was so strong that the team has already begun preparing inventory months in advance for the upcoming holiday season. To keep up with growing demand, the company has also invested in updated equipment and facility improvements designed to increase efficiency and production capacity. ​

Here's a fun fact that many people don't know about Nate's Nectar: their products are sold in at least one retail store in every state in the United States. And if you happen to stop by during a busy production day, you'll likely discover another secret to their success: The operations team runs on honey lattes. 

We are proud to celebrate this remarkable family business and look forward to watching their continued success for years to come. For more information, visit Nate’s Nectar online or follow them on Facebook and other social media channels. 

Please join us in congratulating Nate’s Nectar on being the Logan County Chamber of Commerce June 2026 Business of the Month. ​

Their passion paid off. By 1905, the library moved into a building funded by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, tying Logan County to the historic Carnegie library movement that helped shape public libraries across the United States. 
​
From those humble beginnings, the library grew steadily – adding branches, launching bookmobiles, and expanding services to meet the needs of a changing community. Today, it stands as a testament to what can happen when a community invests in itself. ​

You can also find libraries in our rural communities, including DeGraff, Lakeview, Rushsylvania, West Liberty and West Mansfield. 
​
The library is more than books. In fact, there are services for every stage of life. Yes, you can still check out a great novel – but that’s just the beginning. Logan County Libraries offers a wide range of services designed to educate and empower: 

• Free access to books, audiobooks, movies, and digital content  

• Public computers, Wi-Fi, and mobile hotspots  

• Storytimes and early literacy programs for young children  

• Summer Reading Programs for all ages  

• Tech tutoring and digital literacy support  

• Home delivery and outreach services  

• Community meeting spaces and events  

​From “Books on Tape” in the 1980s to today’s digital platforms like Libby and Hoopla, the library has consistently stayed ahead of the curve. For a complete list of their services – stop in to a local branch, give them a call at (937) 599-4189 or check out their website. 

The past few years have tested the library system – but also highlighted its strength. From a devastating flood at Knowlton Library in 2022 to a tornado that destroyed the Lakeview Branch in 2024, Logan County Libraries has faced adversity head-on. Each time, the response has been the same: rebuild, reimagine, and reopen – stronger than before. 

Recent updates show just how committed the library is to evolving with its patrons’ needs. The Knowlton Library renovation and reopening in 2024 after their 2022 Christmas Day flood brought refreshed spaces, modern technology, and expanded community areas. 

Another major change? Going fine-free in 2024, removing overdue fines on many materials to ensure access isn’t limited by financial barriers. Add in tech tutoring and expanded digital services, and it’s clear the library is focused on making learning accessible to everyone. 

Over the years, Logan County Libraries has earned recognition for its creativity and service, including a 1st Place Award for outstanding programming by the Ohio Library Council Northwest Chapter Conference, a 2025 Carnegie Grant honoring its historic legacy and multiple other grants supporting literacy, technology, and community outreach. 

The library has also been an early adopter of digital innovations, from eBooks to mobile apps, ensuring patrons always have modern tools at their fingertips. 

What truly sets Logan County Libraries apart is its impact. This isn’t just a place to borrow materials – it’s where children discover a love of reading, families learn and grow together, and residents connect, collaborate, and create. Patrons don’t just use the library - they help shape it. That sense of shared ownership is part of what makes it so special. 

At 125 years strong, the Logan County Libraries aren’t slowing down. With a continued focus on innovation, accessibility, and community connection, the future looks just as bright as its storied past. Their advice for anyone starting something new? “Understand the people you serve, build trust, and grow through relationships.” It’s a philosophy that has clearly stood the test of time. 

From ice cream socials to internet hotspots, the Logan County Libraries have spent 125 years bringing knowledge, connection, and opportunity to the community. That’s something worth celebrating – not just this month, but every day. ​

Today, Honestly Clean is powered by a team that truly cares about the people they serve. Bret McFadden, Director of Operations, has been a key part of the team for nearly two years, helping guide daily operations. Chasidee Hamilton, who has been there since the beginning, is now stepping into a full-time Operations Support Specialist role.

In addition to leadership, the company is supported by a team of 23 hardworking cleaning professionals who serve clients daily. Their commitment and attention to detail make it possible for Honestly Clean to deliver consistent, high-quality service across Logan County.

For Misti, there was never a question about where to grow her business. Logan County is home. Honestly Clean has been located in The Main Street Marketplace (130 S. Main Street, Bellefontaine) for the past three years and is preparing for a move to 106 S. Detroit Street, Bellefontaine around May 1st – which they are extremely excited for. No matter where their office is located, their team remains out in the community every day, supporting local residents and businesses.

Honestly Clean offers residential and commercial cleaning services, with a specialty in Airbnb and rental turnovers – an important service in a growing local market. Their ability to manage tight turnaround schedules, along with offering laundry services for out-of-town property owners, makes them a valuable partner for many in the community.
​
They also stand behind their work with a 24-hour quality guarantee, reflecting their commitment to doing the job right.

What truly sets Honestly Clean apart is their commitment to relationships. The team takes time to understand each client’s unique needs, recognizing that no two homes or businesses are alike. This personalized approach has created strong bonds with clients and a level of trust that goes beyond typical service relationships.

Over the years, the team has built lasting connections with the people they serve – sharing stories, laughter, and meaningful moments that go far beyond the work itself. It’s those relationships that continue to drive their passion and purpose.

Honestly Clean believes in supporting the community that has supported them, and they make a conscious effort to work with local non-profit organizations. Understanding that budgets can vary, the company strives to provide services that help these organizations continue their important work in the community.

As a member of the Logan County Chamber, Honestly Clean has found valuable opportunities to connect, grow, and give back. From connecting with new clients to building relationships with fellow businesses, the Chamber has played an important role in helping them expand their reach.

Events like the Chamber’s First Thursday Coffee meetings offer valuable opportunities to collaborate and support others – something Misti and her team deeply appreciate.
​
For those starting their own business journey, Misti’s advice is simple: be patient, keep learning, and take pride in your work. Lessons she learned early on from the McDonald family at Dairy Queen – “If you’ve got time to lean, you’ve got time to clean,” and “The customer is always right” – still guide her approach today.

For more information about Honestly Clean LLC or to schedule services, contact the team at 937-442-8881 or 937-539-6253, or email info@honestlycleanohio.com.

​The Hilliker YMCA was established to meet a growing need in Logan County for a community-centered fitness and wellness facility focused on body, spirit, and mind. For more than two decades, the Bellefontaine branch has carried forward the mission of the YMCA of Central Ohio - to ensure that everyone has access to the resources they need to lead healthier, more connected lives.

Located in Bellefontaine, the facility features a fitness floor, indoor swimming pool, and group exercise studio, offering a welcoming space for residents of all ages. Over the years, the YMCA has become more than just a place to work out - it’s where friendships are formed, families grow stronger, and community members support one another.

Serving a five-generation community, the Hilliker YMCA offers a wide variety of programs designed to meet people wherever they are on their wellness journey. From youth activities to senior fitness programs, the YMCA strives to create opportunities for everyone to stay active and engaged.

Popular offerings include:

• Youth sports leagues and swimming lessons
• Group exercise classes like Aqua Fit, Strong & Fit, Spin, and SilverSneakers
• New programming such as Yoga, Dance Beats, Iron Teens, personal training, and stroke lessons
  
  

These programs not only improve physical health but also help build confidence, friendships, and lifelong habits.

Many people may not realize that the YMCA is a nonprofit organization committed to accessibility. Through its scholarship programs, the Hilliker YMCA ensures that financial barriers never prevent someone from participating.

In 2024 alone, the YMCA awarded $22,459 in scholarships, and that number grew even higher in 2025. The impact of these efforts can be seen across the community:

• 4,800+ members served
• 75,000+ visits to the facility in one year
• 300+ youth participating in sports programs
• 99 children learning to swim last year
  
  

These programs are critical in helping young people gain life skills, build confidence, and stay safe in the water.

The YMCA team believes that a welcoming environment is essential to creating a positive member experience. Recently, the facility has undergone several improvements, including:

• Installation of new treadmills, dumbbells, benches, and bars
• LED lighting upgrades to brighten the fitness center
• Expanded class offerings to meet evolving member interests
  ​

The response from members has been overwhelmingly positive. “Seeing and hearing the joy our members get when they walk in and notice the improvements is one of our greatest joys,” shared the leadership team. “The experience starts with our people, and we have the greatest crew in Logan County. They know this is more than a job - it’s service to the community.”

This renewed community focus is being led by newly promoted Executive Director Matt Evans. “Serving the kids has been a great joy, and I’m excited about helping the Y continue its shift from just a membership organization to a true community,” says Evans. “Growing up here has given me years of perspective. I’ve seen and heard so much that I can now bring to the Y to better serve our neighbors. I’m really looking forward to working with teams across Central Ohio to keep making the Y a place where everyone belongs.”

With this leadership and renewed vision, the YMCA continues to expand its impact and strengthen its role as a community hub.

Looking ahead, the YMCA is preparing for Healthy Kids Day, an exciting community event coming up this April. This family-focused event promotes healthy lifestyles for children and offers local businesses an opportunity to engage with families across the community.

One way businesses can participate is by donating an item for the Healthy Kids Day silent auction. Companies may contribute an item that represents their brand or purchase a unique item to donate. All donations will be prominently displayed and acknowledged during the event.

In appreciation for their support, participating businesses will have the opportunity to promote their brand at the YMCA during the event, with space available to display materials, interact with attendees, and connect directly with community members. By partnering with Healthy Kids Day, businesses help raise essential funds while aligning their brand with a positive, family-centered initiative focused on the health and well-being of children.

The YMCA’s success is driven by a passionate team of staff members who are committed to serving others—from lifeguards and instructors to membership specialists and facility staff. Under the leadership of Executive Director Matt Evans, the team works daily to ensure that every member feels welcomed, supported, and encouraged.
​
Facilities Director Ben Tanner and Aquatics Experience Director Paige Norbury are among the long-serving leaders who help maintain the YMCA’s high standards and vibrant programming.

As the YMCA celebrates 25 years in Logan County, exciting improvements are on the horizon. Plans are underway for important exterior repairs and updates to ensure the building continues serving the community for decades to come.

The team is also excited to expand its outreach efforts—bringing the Y into the community and creating more opportunities for residents to experience the benefits of YMCA programs.

For aspiring entrepreneurs and community leaders, the YMCA team offers simple but powerful advice: “Bring joy back into the community. Everything else will fall into place. A friendly hello and a caring ear are needed in this community.”

Through youth development, health and wellness programs, and strong partnerships across Logan County, the Hilliker YMCA continues to make a lasting impact. After 25 years of service, its mission remains the same: to build a stronger, healthier community where everyone belongs. Learn more about getting involved by checking out their website or Facebook page.

​After graduating from West Liberty-Salem, Dave pursued formal training at Lincoln Technical Institute in Indianapolis. His hard work and dedication earned him an internship at VOSS Village Olds/Cadillac/BMW in Centerville. Following graduation with honors, Dave was recruited into the prestigious BMW STEP Program, attending Ohio Technical College in Cleveland and becoming a BMW Certified Diagnostic Technician.

That certification led him to Dreyer & Reinbold BMW in Indianapolis (the oldest BMW dealership in North America) where he spent nearly ten years honing his skills alongside some of the best technicians in the industry. Even with a successful career in a high-level dealership environment, Dave never let go of the dream of returning home and opening his own shop.

That dream became reality in 2012, when Dave and Katie moved back to West Liberty and opened Solomon’s Garage in a rented section of an old machinery shed on Dave’s family farm. Those early days were challenging, but Dave always found a way to persevere. Despite the obstacles, business grew steadily, fueled by hard work, determination, and strong community support.

After four years, the opportunity arose to purchase the former Firestone tire shop at 122 S. Detroit Street. With help from The People’s Savings & Loan Co., Solomon’s Garage moved off the family farm and into downtown West Liberty. Over the past decade, the business has continued to reinvest, remodel, and expand, growing into an eight-bay, 6,600-square-foot facility that now anchors a thriving section of downtown.

Along the way, Dave and Katie have been supported and encouraged by family, friends, neighboring business owners, the Ohio Small Business Development Center, and industry coaching organizations. One lesson has remained constant throughout their journey: in business, you must always be learning, growing, and challenging yourself to reach the next level.
​
Today, Solomon’s Garage is best known for its expertise in modern automotive electrical systems and European vehicles, but the team proudly provides complete diagnostic, repair, and maintenance services for all domestic, Asian, and European cars and light trucks. Their focus on preventative maintenance helps customers avoid unexpected breakdowns and make informed decisions about their vehicles – whether the goal is to get another year out of a car or drive it well beyond 200,000 miles.

Their commitment to integrity and service has earned Solomon’s Garage numerous recognitions over the years, including the 2019 Drive Effective Shop Manager Award presented at Drive Expo West in Los Angeles, the Logan County Chamber’s 2018 Integrity in Business Award, West Liberty’s 2022 Business of the Year, and the Volunteer of the Year Award from Lutheran Community Services in 2025.
​
Innovation continues to play a key role in the business’s success. In recent years, Solomon’s Garage expanded into its unused secondary building, adding an additional 3,600 square feet and investing in high-quality equipment acquired from closing service centers. Their alignment system is now one of the few in a three-county area capable of accommodating long-bed pickup trucks, allowing them to bring even more services in-house for local customers.

As Solomon’s Garage continues to grow, the team is currently looking to add another motivated professional. This position offers the benefits of working in a busy, dealer-quality automotive shop – without the stress of city traffic – along with a clean, well-lit facility, state-of-the-art diagnostic and programming equipment, and the opportunity to work alongside highly trained technicians. The role includes many benefits, and a consistent Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. schedule. Interested applicants are encouraged to call 937-887-0029 to learn more.

As active Chamber members for nine years, Dave and Katie value the relationships, networking opportunities, and sense of community that come with being part of the Logan County Chamber of Commerce. You’ll often find them participating in Chamber events and connecting with fellow business owners who share a passion for strengthening the local economy.

Looking ahead to 2026, the Neers are excited about continued growth, paying down debt, strengthening their team, and building on the momentum they’ve created—while remaining rooted in the community that has supported them from the very beginning. We are thankful for their dedication, service, and lasting impact on Logan County.

Interested in learning more about Solomon’s Garage? You can schedule service or explore career opportunities by calling 937-887-0029 or 937-844-9046, or by emailing dnkneer@gmail.com. Additional information about their services is available at solomonsgarage.com, and you can follow Solomon’s Garage on social media to stay up to date on shop news, community involvement, and important updates.

FastTrack Signs is truly a family operation, with a team that has worked together for nearly two decades. Dennis is joined by his wife Carly Schaub, who manages marketing and customer relations and has been part of the business since the beginning. Their sons, Alex Schaub, who works in production and installation, and Luke Schaub, who joined the team just two years later and also specializes in production and installation, round out the FastTrack crew. The longevity of the team speaks to the strong values, consistency, and pride that define the business.

Over the past 20 years, FastTrack Signs has helped brand hundreds of businesses across Logan County. From storefronts and service trucks to schools, parks, and community spaces, many of the signs seen daily were designed and produced right in their shop. While proudly rooted locally, their reputation has reached far beyond Ohio, with projects completed in multiple states thanks to strong relationships and consistent craftsmanship.
​
FastTrack Signs has also earned recognition within the sign industry itself. Their work has been featured in several national sign-industry trade magazines over the years, including a recent cover feature highlighting their design and craftsmanship.

​FastTrack Signs values long-term relationships above all else, and the team often shares that the most rewarding part of their work is seeing customers light up when a project is complete. Hearing that a sign helped a business grow, attract new customers, or feel confident in their brand is what keeps them motivated every day.

For entrepreneurs just starting out, the FastTrack team offers simple advice: start small, be consistent, focus on relationships, and be patient. Much of their own success has come quietly and steadily over time by serving customers well and earning trust.

FastTrack Signs can be reached by phone at 937-593-9990 or by email at Carly@fasttracksigns.net. More information about their services can be found at fasttracksigns.net, and their latest projects are often shared on Facebook at Facebook.com/FastTrackSigns.
