Experience a Taste of Tipp
By: Abbi Heckel
The latest episode of the Newsmakers Podcast brings a strong dose of local energy and community spirit, as host Greg Enslen sits down with Samantha McFadden to preview one of Tipp City’s most anticipated spring events: the Taste of Tipp & Business Expo. With just days to go before the May 9 gathering, the conversation highlights not only what attendees can expect, but why the event has become a cornerstone for connecting residents with local businesses. McFadden, representing the Tipp City Chamber of Commerce, emphasized that this year’s expo is shaping up to be one of the largest yet, with more than 60 exhibitors ready to showcase their offerings.
Set to take place at Ginghamsburg Church, the event runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is designed to be both accessible and family-friendly. Admission is just $5 at the door, with children 10 and under admitted free, making it an easy outing for families looking to explore the community. During the podcast, McFadden described the event as “a snapshot of Tipp City in one room,” where attendees can sample food from local restaurants and caterers while also learning about the wide range of services offered by area businesses. From home improvement experts to financial institutions and nonprofits, the expo floor promises a diverse cross-section of the local economy.
Enslen guided the discussion toward what makes the Taste of Tipp unique compared to other regional festivals. McFadden pointed to the blend of culinary experience and business networking as a key differentiator. While food samples are a major draw, the event also offers meaningful engagement between businesses and residents. Each exhibitor booth, complete with a three-sided space and table setup, provides an opportunity for hands-on interaction, and many vendors will offer door prizes to encourage participation. Sponsors such as Monroe Federal Savings & Loan and Premier Health, along with several regional banks and community partners, further underscore the collaborative effort behind the event.
The Taste of Tipp is more than just an afternoon of food, it’s a celebration of community identity and local entrepreneurship. Enslen and McFadden both stress that events like this play a vital role in sustaining small businesses and fostering civic pride. For residents of Tipp City and surrounding areas, May 9 offers a chance to reconnect with familiar favorites and discover new ones. As highlighted throughout the podcast, it’s not just an event to attend, it’s one you truly won’t want to miss.
