Love Local 2026
Saturday, Jan 31st, 11am-2pm
The Coldwater Main Street Program is hosting a soup and chili cook-off to show our love for local restaurants,
and gear up for the Valentine’s Day season. Businesses and restaurants pair up to offer a variety of soups to be
sampled. The public is invited to meander through local businesses, vote for their favorite spoonful,
and get a head start on shopping for Valentine’s Day gifts. Plus, there will be special events throughout the district.
The soup/chili tasting is FREE! First come first served, while supplies last.

MyColdwater.com 2022-25 Vision
Hi, I'm Kevin North, creator of MyColdwater.com. My vision is not only to help unite
the community of Coldwater with event listings and a great business directory, but also
to continue to fight for freedom on the Internet and teach others to do the same. I was
on the sidelines of this fight until the pandemic changed everything, and at that point
I felt compelled to use my computer talents to get involved, including the creation of
the CACO page on this website. I am pleased to report victories:
Most oppressive pandemic restrictions have been lifted, and Big Tech's censorship has
been called out.
Long term, there's still more to do. One thing that alarms me is that there are so many
people who use the MyColdwater.com Facebook group but have no idea that there's also a
real website. Further, over the last year or so I've lost all my advertisers. I don't
care about the money; I was only making enough to break even anyway. No, what concerns me
is that people are using Facebook as their sole source of information. People should never
get all their information from a single source, yet Big Tech companies like Google and
Facebook continue to use their might to offer the answers to everything. For example,
people Google "ProMedica Coldwater" and instantly get the phone number and other info that
Google has used AI to gather, and there's no need to go to either MyColdwater.com or
ProMedica's website. People rely on this AI technology too much. This year I'm trying to
figure out a way to reinvent MyColdwater.com to encourage users to go back to a free,
open Internet of independent websites rather than everything controlled by a single
"platform."
Exactly how to do this I don't know yet, but you can be sure I'm working on
it! In the meantime, thank you for coming to this website, and I hope you get a
great benefit from it. All for free as a service to my wonderful community,
no questions asked.
Sincerely,
Kevin North
