The theme of Findlay Market's annual "Flavor of Findlay" fundraiser this year is "Diversity in Motion." Taking place Thursday, Sept. 13 at 6:30 p.m., the event will spotlight local women- and minority-owned businesses, with numerous food and drink tasting stations presented by market vendors and others in the community, all to raise funds for "beautification at the market, food entrepreneurship programs, initiatives to support vendors, and facility upgrades."
