Farmstand Pizza started out with two employees and gradually added menu items to serve their many hungry customers. Gradually, the business expanded to the point of outgrowing their facility. They have relocated to 1500 N. Main Avenue (corner of Main and Russell Road). City anxieties have been replaced with true gratitude for the great support of the city location.

Whether you choose to dine in or carry out, owners Vicky McGlinch and Brett McConnell are ready to serve the local customers with a wide variety of menu items Tuesday through Sunday, closed on Mondays. For customer convenience, they also offer delivery service by calling 4927454. Salads, sandwiches, wings and of course pizza can be ordered at reasonable prices. Ice cream is also available to top off your dining pleasure.

As they continue to build the business and get established, they also hope to get involved in the community. Patrons can contact them to discuss promotion ideas and fundraisers.

Community Partners Come Together to Enhance Fairground Visitors to the Shelby County Fair will be pleased to see the addition of a new restroom and shower facility at the opening of the 2014 Fair.

Construction is underway for the new facility which will replace portable toilets used in the past.

The new building will contain a family restroom, 4 showers for each gender, and new restrooms for men and women. The block building has been designed to clean easily and the facility is being conveniently located close to many of the show areas.

With the planning and fundraising done by the local Pork Producers Association, community collaboration has resulted. $120,000 has been raised from over 300 businesses and individuals, $120,000 will be matched through State funding, and $76,000 will be contributed as in-kind donations from local contractors including Lochard Inc., Area Energy and Electric, and Wells Brothers Inc. who will provide the plumbing, heating, and electric for the facility.

The general contractor for the project is Geuy Construction who will be busy working on this to make the July 9th completion date.

This project will enhance our fairgrounds for many years to come.The Fair Board will be able to utilize these improvements as a draw to the many other events held at the fairgrounds throughout the year.

This new facility will join other recent new additions including the horse arena and the new show arena #2 which were also brought to the fairgrounds through local fundraising.

New Addition Enhances Employee Safety and Process Improvement at American Trim With locations in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Kentucky and Mexico, American Trim serves the appliance, heavy truck and automotive industries as a preeminent manufacturer and integrator of niche parts, components, assemblies and completed products. Competing in world markets, they develop and market breakthrough ideas and product concepts that improve the aesthetics, performance and enjoyment of products found in every business, household and vehicle system.

Supporting their core value of Employee Safety, the American Trim Sidney location is constructing a fabricated building where they will store parts racks used to ship product to their customers, thereby eliminating problems associated with inclement weather. Prior to this addition, wet racks transported into their manufacturing facility would get the floors wet, creating potential slip hazards.

This new building will address this issue and enhance employee safety. As an added benefit, there is likely to be a positive environmental impact with this new approach in that racks stored indoors will not be the source of any run off associated with rain water.

Sollmann Electric Celebrates 40 Years Forty years ago, Dennis Sollmann, at age 22, started his electrical contracting business as a one-man operation located in a garage at 634 Fulton Street, Sidney.

WMH Opens New Medical Office in Jackson Center On April 28th, the Jackson Center Family Practice and office of Dr. Michael Trygstad began operating out of its brand new building.

“I am so happy with our new medical office. We will continue to provide our high-quality health care but we will now operate in a facility better suited for today’s practice,” says Dr. Trygstad. “Our new medical building is modern, efficient and equipped for today’s high-tech medical practice.”

The old medical building was demolished and the new medical building stands just feet from where the old office once stood. This allows Jackson Center Family Practice to offer their services in the same location where Jackson Center area residents have received comprehensive family medical services for over 50 years. The renovation also provides space for small group education, which may be used for patients with chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes.

Custom Foam Products Announces Expansion Recently, Custom Foam Products, Inc. in Fort Loramie, Ohio announced an expansion of its facility with the acquisition of an adjacent building. Owners Nick Fullenkamp and Steve Sherman purchased the building to accommodate new growth in response to increased demand for their product.

Since 1998, Custom Foam has produced fabricated foam products in virtually every shape, size and configuration using expanded polystyrene, polyethylene, cross-link polyethylene, molded polyethylene, polypropylene, polyurethane, neoprene, rubber, anti-static foams, foam with PSA and plastic corrugated. Custom Foam currently services the needs of the markets including automotive, medical, upholstery, electrical, consumer products, electronics and many others.

The fabrication capabilities at Custom Foam include sheeting, skiving, slitting, sawing, convoluting, contouring, profiling and die cutting. Assembly methods entail gluing, urethane spray adhesives, heat welding and water jetting.

Custom Foam Products provides value-added service with on time delivery. With their dedicated fleet of drivers and delivery trucks, they will provide a flexible service that saves time and money. With direct control of delivery, the customer is assured of a product delivered on time.
