Good morning, Canton.

Lynn and Dave Shimko are celebrating 10 years of 720 Markets in North Canton that began as a pop-up shop idea on a drive to Cincinnati.

The evolving local event now features food trucks, craft beer, and up to 120 vendors serving nearly 7,500 shoppers across multiple weekend spots.

Kate Mokros, a Canton native, works as the director of membership and communications at Shady Hollow Country Club in Jackson Township (she uses her high-end wedding planning experience to strengthen member relationships and update club services).

NewClub launched its Northeast Ohio chapter in June with 50 founding members and a $1,650 annual membership fee, offering members access to over 100 partner courses via its mobile app.

Co-founded by local golf enthusiast Matt Considine, the club aims to bring affordable golf experiences to private and public courses.

Job seekers have been warned to avoid task-based scams where small payments lead to requests for money to unlock further earnings; one Ohio claimant lost about $2,600 and then was asked to pay an additional $5,700, and the BBB advises against sending money for work.

Authorities stress that legitimate employers never require payments to release wages.

North Canton DAR chapter honored founder Jacob Gaskins by dedicating the Liberty Tree memorial at Arrowhead Golf + Event Center on July 12; the event installed a tree and memorial stone to mark his historic role on the Underground Railroad.

Queen of Heaven Catholic Church in Green will hold its 19th annual Tribute to Nurses Mass at 6 p.m. on Aug.

On Saturday, Aug. 8, Canton hosted the 2026 Hall of Fame Enshrinement where NFL legends including Drew Brees, Luke Kuechly, Larry Fitzgerald, and Adam Vinatieri were honored by a large crowd.

A moving video tribute from Roger Craig added to the memorable celebration.
