​For the past decade, Bobbi's Bungalow has welcomed travelers from around the world to our community. As they celebrate their 10th anniversary this month, we’re pleased to acknowledge their years of welcoming visitors to West Liberty with exceptional hospitality and small-town charm.

​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.

​For two decades, FastTrack Signs has played a behind-the-scenes role in shaping the visual identity of our community, creating the storefront signs, vehicle graphics, banners, and displays we see every day. The Logan County Chamber is proud to honor FastTrack Signs for 20 years of helping Logan County stand out through reliable, creative, high-quality signage and branding.

For more than four decades, Midwest Corporate Air (MCA) has been a cornerstone of aviation excellence in Logan County. What began as a small charter and training operation has grown into one of the nation’s leading providers of accelerated flight training — right here at the Bellefontaine Regional Airport, located at 3100 St. Rt. 47 W., Bellefontaine.
​
Midwest Corporate Air was founded in 1980 by Mike and Lynn Duff, who managed the former Bellefontaine Municipal Airport and provided aircraft charter services and flight training for over 20 years. Their dedication to aviation education laid the foundation for MCA’s future success.

• Accelerated Flight Instructor Training
• Accelerated Multi-Engine Rating Programs

• Both conventional and accelerated “zero to hero” formats
  
  

Midwest Corporate Air utilizes state-of-the-art simulators and a diverse fleet that supports single-engine, multiengine, seaplane, and jet operations, including Cirrus, Diamond, Maule, Cessna Citation, and Twin Cessna aircraft.

With approximately 44 employees, the cornerstone of Midwest Corporate Air’s success is its team of expert flight instructors. Their knowledge, passion, and unwavering commitment to safety make an extraordinary impact. Through personalized instruction, they guide aspiring pilots of all backgrounds to become confident, capable aviators. Their dedication is integral to MCA’s success in training more than 1,000 pilots each year, representing all 50 states and several foreign countries — a fact many Logan County residents are surprised to learn.
​
Midwest Corporate Air’s Mission and Vision Statements are true testaments to the success of their operation. Their Mission Statement reflects their commitment to comprehensive, high-quality aviation training: “Midwest Corporate Air is a recognized leader in aircraft maintenance and flight training for fixed wing aircraft from Private through Airline Transport Pilot and Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) levels of certification.

For budding entrepreneurs, Steve’s advice is straightforward and grounded in real-world experience: “Make sure you have a true competitive advantage, and don’t compete on price.” This philosophy has guided Midwest Corporate Air through years of growth and industry leadership.

As Midwest Corporate Air continues to expand, the company anticipates hiring at least six new flight instructors in 2026, offering $35 per hour. These positions provide exceptional opportunities for pilots seeking to gain experience in one of the most respected accelerated programs in the country.
