There are many events that take place here, from juried fine arts show to family events, our signature International Fest and the venerable Candlelight Walk, but nothing really celebrates the history of Medina. Also, we’re anticipating the Medina Bicentennial in 2018, so this may be the first step in planning a big celebration for that momentous occasion.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span lang=EN-GB>Noted local antique dealers, Marge Staufer and Jane Langol, are consulting with the committee to insure a quality show, from beginning to end.<br><br><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-GB>For more information on the event, or for a dealer application, please contact Main Street Medina at <a href="mailto:info@mainstreetmedina.com">info@mainstreetmedina.com</a>, or call 330-952-0910.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>For Immediate Release <o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>February 28, 2012 <o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Contact: Matt Wiederhold <o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>330-952-0910</b><b><span lang=EN-GB><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:18.0pt'>Get the Spirit of Food and Wine with Main Street Medina<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-GB><br>(Medina, Ohio- February 28, 2012) Great food and wine are natural partners, and Main Street Medina is pleased to announce its 2012 calendar of fundraising fun events, focusing on these two treats.
