Happy Earth Day everyone! If you are reading this, I'm not sure if that is good or bad. One of the main things that I've seen across the web and on the news is for people to turn off the power and head out doors! If you are in the Cleveland area the following list contains some of the activities taking place today that you can join in:
Medina County Park District's Buffalo Creek Retreat, just south of Hubbard Valley Park, 8600 Hubbard Valley Road, Guilford Township, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Free; earth-friendly exhibits, fishing.
