Good morning, Geauga County. What's in a name? For Bainbridge Township's signature community event, quite a lot. The newly dubbed "Bainbridge ROX" festival (formerly the Ox Roast) is rolling out the red carpet on August 23 with fresh features including a dedicated music stage, Texas Hold 'Em tournament, and beer garden. This day-long celebration at Centerville Mills promises to deliver everything from kids' activities to local merchant showcases—proving that sometimes a rebrand brings more than just a catchy new title.
Across the county, women recently found serenity among the trees at Chickagami Park's "Nature Break" retreat, where yoga mats and archery targets replaced office chairs and computer screens. The event proved so popular it generated a waitlist, highlighting our collective hunger for outdoor connection. Meanwhile, community calendars are bursting with activity as the DDC Clinic's 25th annual benefit auction, Chardon's final Family Market, and Newbury's vintage car show all vie for your weekend attention.
