Good morning, Geauga County. The soundtrack of the '60s and '70s filled the air as 200 seniors painted the town red during their annual Cleveland adventure last week. From exploring Public Square to dining at the Music Box Supper Club, these active elders proved that community exploration isn't just for the young. Their day of landmark tours and musical entertainment exemplifies the Department on Aging's commitment to keeping golden years truly golden—with a little help from Ohman Family Living's transportation sponsorship.
Meanwhile, the future leaders of Geauga are busy at their sewing machines as the Giggles 'n Stitches 4-H Club kicks off its new year under president Rebecca Zallar's guidance. These young craftspeople are threading together more than fabric—they're stitching leadership skills and community service into their weekly gatherings. And mark your calendars: from Fieldstone Farm's Veterans Open House to Pride celebrations and airport fly-ins, the county's summer event calendar is bursting at the seams with activities for everyone.
