🎩 Mike Polk Jr. brings colonial swagger to Cleveland's 229th birthday. The 3News personality donned Moses Cleaveland attire to celebrate Founder's Day, delivering fun facts and posing for selfies throughout Public Square. July 22 commemorates the 1796 arrival of surveyor Moses Cleaveland and his Connecticut Land Company expedition that established the city.

The lighthearted tribute reminds residents of their city's rich heritage along Lake Erie.
