🦊Support growing Fox Sanctuary

🦊 Medina’s fox family just got a little extra love! Fox Tale Sanctuary — home to 35 rescued foxes who were once kept as pets — is expanding their space so these furry friends can run, dig, and just be foxes. 💚 Thanks to Cleveland photographer Greg Murray, a brand-new 2026 calendar featuring the sanctuary’s residents will help fund the project, with half the profits supporting the cause. Want to help too? Grab a calendar or even sponsor a fox — Medina’s wildest neighbors will thank you! 🧡

Worth a trip to… | Valley City

🍽️Roll out to VC for some killer pizza!

Google Street view

Sometimes it’s easy to stay in your comfort zone… but sometimes it’s SO worth it to take a drive and try something. Samosky’s Homestyle Pizzeria is WORTH THE TRIP down 252.

Scrolling through their Google listing is like surfing pizza smut on the web. It’s one picture after another of amazing-looking pizza! Check out this classic cheese and pep.

They have a super comfortable chill atmosphere if you’re going to dine inside. Carry-out is always a great option too. I love a daily special and they have a bunch of killer specials. How about Wednesday’s deal.. $30 for half a sheet of pizza, 10 wings and 10 pierogis. YES PLEASE!

Most importantly… their ZA is amazing!! You will not regret the trip out to Valley City for this one. There’s a reason that after 20+ years and over 2k reviews they’re still rocking a 4.7 star rating.

About 10-15 minutes from Medina, Samosky’s is on 303 just west of 252. It’s right near the heart of “downtown” Valley City.

Support LOCAL! Check out their Facebook page for more info.
