Good morning, Medina.

Mr. Jingeling visited St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Medina today to share his holiday tradition with children by handing out his famous sleep keys & teaching them his signature song.

Local actors playing St. Nicholas, the Grinch, and Mrs. Claus entertained families with treats as the event embraced festive spirit.

An annual report on Medina’s job creation grant program shows the program exceeded its projections by creating 1,374 full-time and 150 part-time jobs.

The report presented on Dec. 8 covered data from 2024 and noted that figures for 2025 will be added next year.

Medina’s finance committee approved a job creation grant for Sandridge Crafted Foods, which plans to invest $5.3 million at 111 Commerce Drive to renovate its facility for expanded sales+marketing and create 10 full-time jobs.

A local mom recounted her near-death birth experience to highlight the importance of emergency care in Medina.

Her story detailed how 83 blood donors supported Dr. Kristin Gype in saving her life during delivery.
