Ed Robinson of Youngstown, an employee of Gasser Chair Company in Liberty, handles a vinyl extruded coil that will become a protective chair edge. The edge, developed by company co-founder George Gasser in the late 1970s, is what spurred the company to tremendous growth.

Same for dinner or lunch at Leo’s Ristorante in Howland, or an event at any of the three Avalon Inn and Country Club locations in the Mahoning and Shenango valleys, or at The Lake Club in Springfield in Mahoning County.
