Good morning, Geauga County. The unmistakable chug of a 1919 engine powering a grain thresher echoed across Lake Metroparks Farmpark last weekend, marking 54 years of the Antique Power Exhibition. While visitors marveled at vintage tractors performing the unlikely feat of teeter-tottering, this celebration of mechanical nostalgia offered a fascinating glimpse into our agricultural heritage through threshing demonstrations and displays of hand-painted pumps scattered throughout the grounds.
Nature enthusiasts now have a high-tech companion for their botanical adventures with the launch of Flora Finder, a new web application mapping plant species at Holden Arboretum and Cleveland Botanical Garden. Meanwhile, a somber development has authorities shifting their search for a missing man away from South Chagrin Reservation back to Summit County, with efforts now focused on areas in Wayne and Medina counties where the individual has connections.
