Pizza Party to return

TIFFIN — The annual Downtown Tiffin Pizza Party returns from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Sept. 19. Hosted by the Seneca County Young Professionals (SCYP), this popular event is part of the Third Thursday series and will be held in Downtown Tiffin's Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA), taking over City Lots 5 & 7 on Washington Street. This year's party will feature a lineup of pizza-themed dishes from some of Tiffin's favorite local restaurants. Vendors include Clover Club, Domino's Pizza, The Empire, Fort Ball Pizza Palace, FroZone Tiffin, Golda's YUMobile, GW's Fine Food & Spirits, Heavenly Pizza, Jac & Do's, Napoli Pizza, Reino's Pizza & Pasta, Simply Susan's, The Bagel Buggy, and The VC Tiffin Cameo. Tickets are $2 and can be purchased ahead of time at Pan Yan Bookstore, Ralph's Joy of Living, Simply Susan's, and The Renaissance of Tiffin. Tickets will also be available the night of the event in City Lots 5 and 7, with cash payments only. Half of the proceeds from each ticket sold will benefit Seneca Mentoring Youth Links (SMYL), a nonprofit that connects local kids, ages 6 to 17, with mentors who provide guidance, stability, and positive influence in their lives. Mayor Wilkinson stated, "The Downtown Pizza Party is a wonderful opportunity to bring our community together. Come to enjoy good food with friends and family while also helping to make a difference in the lives of local youth through SMYL." While enjoying delicious pizza, attendees can also visit a drink/DORA vendor for a beverage to-go, enhancing the vibrant, festive atmosphere of downtown Tiffin.
