Beer tasting, live music, great food and the opportunity to meet new people and mingle with old friends — yep, this will all be at Brews After Five. North Canton Patch got the inside scoop for you
They say application is the best way to learn, so what better way to become a beer expert than by sampling some imported and craft beer as you learn about each one? No, this isn't an elective college course — it's a networking event with an Oktoberfest twist, presented by the North Canton Area Chamber of Commerce, with the support and cooperation of Walsh University.

The North Canton Main Street Festival is an event the city looks forward to each year. We thought we'd give you a little glimpse of what's to come.
The Main Street Festival has always focused on food, music and family-friendly activities, and you can expect the same thing this year, only bigger and better. It was a finalist in the 2010 Best of Stark competition, after all, and the planners and supporters behind this year’s event intend to live up to that honor. “The festival has remained a one-stop, family-friendly destination for food, rides, music, crafts, arts, cars and community and business information,” said Doug Lane, president of the North Canton Area Chamber of Commerce. “Changes and improvements over the years have included consolidation of booths by category, additional entertainment and a bigger variety of available food,” Lane said. One of the main highlights this year …
