Testimonials

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church just completed our Oktoberfest Medina for the sixth time.  We have used The Joy of Medina County Magazine to promote our event throughout the area for years. This year we welcomed over 1000 guests, our biggest turnout yet despite the late day rain.  We believe the success of Oktoberfest is in part due to your magazine.  In addition I would be remiss if I did not mention the professional assistance provided by Amy and her staff. They all go above and beyond to assist their advertisers in every way. -Robert Anthony


It has been a pleasure to work with you, and your magazine is a wonderful tribute to our community! -Susan Brown, former Automation Projects Coordinator, Wadsworth Public Library

   What an excellent Magazine that highlights the beauty throughout Medina County. The stories are heartfelt, and informative. I love being able to read and learn about businesses & the people that are making a difference. I enjoy reading it each time an issue comes out. -Theresa Forlini-Petrey


   Thank you for publishing Joy of Medina County Magazine. Reading allows the person to immerse themselves into the article. The “Oh, Snap!” story in the June (2020) edition, along with providing links to the audio, really transported the reader into a quiet backyard listening to the birds and squirrels. To be able to get this feeling of calm is especially important today, with all the anxiety and tension present in our daily lives. Thanks again for sharing this with us. -Rob Ziemkiewicz


    I do enjoy Joy, it helps bring Medina to life by showing the real people.  I didn’t know about the mobile option and will give it a try. -William Kendall, Costin + Kendall, CPAs, 36591 Center Ridge Road, Suite 105, North Ridgeville, Oh. 44039, 440-327-0720
