Cleveland's greatest asset, in my humble, is the vast, lush, green acres and acres of parks that run from the north by the lake all the way down to Hinckley Township and the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. And what makes the system even better is that on Monday, it celebrates its 90th birthday. So get out there and bike or hike or swim or picnic to celebrate.
Today, other park districts are offering great programs.
The Firehouse Harmonica Band plays from7 to 8:30 p.m. today at the Big CreekPark Amphitheater, 9160 Robinson Road, in Chardon, in the Geauga Park District. It's free fun with music from the 40s, 50s and big band and Broadway.
And from 2-4 p.m. Sunday, turn back the hands of time for Pioneer Day with the Lake County Historical Society, 8610 Mentor Road in Kirtland Hills. Your kids can take part in an 1830s school lesson, make johnnycake in the cabin and try some candle-dipping. It's all free.
From 10-11:30 a.m. today, meet at the overlook at Columbia Reservation of the Lorain County Metro Parks, 25145 Royalton Road in Columbia Station, for Leave It to Beaver, where you'll learn about the big-toothed guy on a hike, and maybe even see one busy making a dam.
Monday, July 23 is National Vanilla Ice Cream Day. What a great excuse to go get some for free from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Wellington Reservation of the Lorain park system, 535 Jones Road in Wellington. Learn a little history behind the sweet treat, too.
Last but not least is the National Hamburger Festival at Akron's Lock 3. It's big, it's beefy and it starts at 2 p.m. with music from the U.S. Air Force Band of Flight, contests and of course, burgers!
