   Tipp City Chamber Gala - Downtown Lowdown, Episode 69

   Downtown Lowdown: Tipp City Chamber Gala Host: Tasha Weaver Co-Host: Greg Enslen Guest: Samantha McFadden, Executive Director of the Tipp City Chamber of Commerce The latest episode of The Downtown Lowdown welcomes Samantha McFadden, Executive Director of the Tipp City Chamber of Commerce, to talk about the upcoming Tipp City Chamber Gala and everything guests can look forward to this year. The annual gala will take place Wednesday, December 2, at 6 p.m. at the Arbogast Performing Arts Center (APAC). This year brings a few changes to the event, including the use of the APAC auditorium for the awards program and more space for guests to spread out and mingle. What's Happening at the Gala? The evening begins with approximately 45 minutes of networking, appetizers and a cash bar before guests move into dinner and the awards program. The Chamber will recognize recipients in four categories: Small Business of the Year — businesses with fewer than 10 employees Business of the Year — businesses with more than 10 employees Young Professional of the Year — nominees under 40 Citizen of the Year The winners are kept secret until the night of the gala, making the awards a surprise for the recipients. Community nominations are currently open through the Chamber's website. The gala will also recognize new Chamber board members and provide an opportunity to hear about the Chamber's work over the past year and what's ahead. New Changes for 2026 One of the biggest changes this year is moving the awards program into the APAC auditorium. Dinner will still be part of the evening, but guests will be spread between the upstairs and downstairs areas, with a bar upstairs. The change is designed to create more room and encourage guests to continue networking and mingling throughout the evening. APAC has also made upgrades to the facility, including a new VIP area and a bar that is expected to be available for the event. Sponsorship Opportunities The Chamber has several ways for businesses to support the gala. Signature Sponsorship — $1,000 Table for eight Business included on the gala invitation Recognition in the dinner program Premier Sponsorship — $600 Four seats Business included on the invitation and dinner program There are also program sponsorships for $250 and a centerpiece sponsorship, which places the sponsor's logo on every table. Bar sponsorships for this year's event have already been filled. The deadline for sponsorships that need to appear on the printed invitation is September 30. Tickets Businesses and community members who don't want to sponsor the event can still attend. Table of 8: $600 Individual ticket: $65 Ticket/sign-up deadline: November 20 Samantha also encouraged businesses that have never attended the gala to consider coming this year as a way to meet other local businesses, build connections and become more involved in the Tipp City community. Raffle Prizes & Donations The gala will once again feature raffle prizes donated by local businesses. Businesses interested in contributing a prize can contact the Chamber office or reach out to the Chamber directly.

The episode also covers the Chamber's Coffee with Champions, held every Tuesday and open to the public, as well as a look ahead to the Chamber's 2027 calendar of events. Tune in to hear Tasha, Greg and Samantha talk about the gala, local business networking, the awards, sponsorship opportunities and what makes this annual event such an important gathering for the Tipp City community.

   Ghost Tours are Back! - Downtown Lowdown, Episode 68

   Downtown Lowdown: Tipp City’s Ghost Tour Returns! On this episode of Downtown Lowdown, host Tasha Weaver and co-host Greg Enslen sit down with Amanda from Browse Awhile Books to talk about the return of a long-requested Tipp City tradition, the Downtown Tipp City Ghost Tour! After last taking place in 2018, the ghost tour is coming back for one night only this October. Amanda gives Tasha and Greg a behind-the-scenes look at what guests can expect, from the hidden and sometimes darker history of downtown Tipp City to stories, claims, personal experiences, and even some actual EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena) captured during paranormal investigations. The approximately two-hour walking tour will visit more than 30 locations throughout downtown, with stops featuring fascinating, and sometimes creepy pieces of Tipp City history. Guests will hear about some of the stories that aren't necessarily found in a quick Google search, including the town's more unusual and taboo history. Amanda also explains how EVPs are captured during investigations and how some voices or sounds aren't discovered until investigators review their recordings afterward. During the tour, guests will hear some of these recordings at the locations where they were captured. 👻 Ghost Tour Details 📅 Saturday, October 24th ⏰ 7:00–9:00 PM 📍 Starts & ends at Browse Awhile Books 🎟️ $15 per ticket 👥 Maximum of 50 guests 🌧️ Rain or shine The tour will remain within the downtown area, traveling as far east as the Canal Lock and toward the railroad tracks before returning to Browse Awhile Books. Guests should plan to walk for approximately two hours and wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. This is a family-friendly event. It isn't a haunted-house-style experience with actors jumping out or touching guests. Instead, the focus is on Tipp City's history, stories, evidence, and the unexplained. And, of course, Tasha and Greg manage to get a little off-topic along the way including costumes, spooky season, parking, haunted downtown buildings, and the all-important possibility of a potty break! With only 50 spots available, this is one event you won't want to wait too long to grab tickets for. Tune in to this episode of Downtown Lowdown to hear more about the tour, learn a little about the history hiding in downtown Tipp City, and find out why there's a lot more to the city than meets the eye!
