In a move requested and supported by several Swanton business owners, the Swanton Village Council has agreed to initiate action to develop a Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA). The process began when the Council unanimously approved Resolution 2022-XX, authorizing the Village Administrator to take the necessary steps for a Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA) for certain property located in the Village of Swanton, Fulton County, Ohio. Prior to the vote, Mayor Neil Toeppe sent a letter address to the Council members. The letter read, in part:
The Office of the Mayor for the Village of Swanton in Fulton County, Ohio respectfully submits this application to the Village Council of Swanton, Ohio to approve and establish a Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA), pursuant to Ohio Revised Code (ORC) 4301.82.
The Office of the Mayor is requesting that Village Council pass a new ordinance, pursuant to Ohio Revised Code 4301.82, to create such Designated Outdoor Refreshment Areas (DORA) in Swanton.
This proposal will help benefit Swanton businesses, residents, and property owners within the area both culturally and economically. The Swanton DORA would provide that any person of legal age who is carrying an opened container of beer, wine or intoxicating liquor within the established DORA limits that has been purchased from an establishment within said limit be exempt from Ohio’s Open Container Law.
These drinks shall only be served in a plastic cup with a sticker approved by the Village. No other container will be permitted. The Office of the Mayor looks forward to working with Village Council in creating the Swanton DORA.
Please let us know if you have any questions about our petition, or if we can be of further assistance as you examine the possibilities of this new and exciting endeavor for the residents and visitors of Swanton.
As Mayor Toeppe pointed out during the August 22nd Council meeting, the Resolution, a course of action recommended by the Village Solicitor, does not establish the DORA, but does allow the Administrator to research the requirements to enact future legislation to establish the DORA. Furthermore, there would be a Public Hearing before any DORA-relation legislation would become law. At his time, a defined perimeter for the DORA has not been determined but it expected to include the downtown area and several establishments that serve alcohol.

This past Saturday, the downtown area of Swanton hosted its first Artwalk on Main, featuring a diverse display of art from more than a dozen vendors offering paintings, sketches, wood pottery, photography, glass figurines, jewelry, macrame and more. This new event, which ran from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, is another example of the Swanton business community and the Chamber of Commerce building on the many recent successes of returning Downton Swanton to an economically vibrant environment.
Several months ago, Deb Helwig, owner of Deb’s Art Studio on main Street, approached the Chamber’s Board of Directors with her idea of starting the event, inspired by the Black Swamp Arts Festival in Bowling Green which began almost 30 years ago. “I talked to a couple of people on their committee and they told me it took 15 years tom get to where it is today,” said Deb. “But you’ve got to start somewhere.”
The turnout for the Artwork on Main was very good and met with Deb’s expectations. It also showed how the Swanton community has become very appreciative of its growth as an art community. Ms. Helwig opened her art studio six years ago and said the business has been successful and now, post-pandemic, actually thriving. Another positive indicator is the Annual Swanton Fine Art Exhibit and Sale being held for the seventh time from October 7th to the 9th at Valleywood Golf Club. This exhibit is regarded as one of the finest in Northwest Ohio.

Initially, the Delta Panthers were supposed to open their home football season last Friday night with the Cardinal Stritch Cardinals. However, when the Oregon, Ohio school suddenly decided to drop their football program, Delta was left scrambling to find a replacement opponent. Fortunately , John F. Kennedy Catholic out of Warren, Ohio was able to fill the void, traveling approximately three hours to take on the Panthers.
Generally regarded as a Division VII football power, the JFK Eagles found a tough Panther defense in the first quarter before putting 16 points on the board in the second quarter on their way to a 37-12 victory, Delta travels to Evergreen in two weeks to open the NWOAL season against the Vikings.
