The 8th Annual Jazzin' Tiffin Festival, set for September 10 on Frost Parkway in Tiffin, has some new additions this year. In addition to great jazz music, local vendors and beer and wine, local "celebrities" will be grilling and a Marker's Mark representative will be serving up bourbon and commemorative Tiffin glass shot glasses.
New this year, local faces including Mayor Aaron Montz, Tiffin University President Lillian Schumacher and Heidelberg University President Rob Huntington, will be "celebrity servers" in the grilling area from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. Mike Pinkston of the Empire at 138 will be grilling bratwurst with peppers and onions.
Maker's Mark representative and Tiffin-native Joe Roszman will be running a bourbon tent within the beer garden, which will include the entire festival and vending area this year. Along with bourbon, there will be original Tiffin glass shot glasses engraved with the Jazzin' Tiffin logo that can be dipped in the Maker's Mark wax. There are only 200 of these unique souvenirs.
The festival begins at 3 p.m. on September 10.
