Geauga County • September 5, 2025
Good morning, Geauga County. September has transformed our community into a treasure hunter's paradise with events popping up faster than fall leaves. Dorothy's Porch is offering free household items at Celebration Lutheran Church, while garage sales and Chinese auctions promise hidden gems throughout the month. For those seeking unique finds, mark your calendar for the Harvest Handmade Market on Chardon Square or the aptly named "Junk in the Trunkfest" on September 20, where bargains come with a side of pancakes and airplane rides.
Beyond shopping, our community is building tomorrow's leaders today. Munson Elementary's innovative "Topper Safety Leaders" program now has third-graders monitoring hallways and modeling positive behaviors for their peers. Meanwhile, Concord Township officials are thinking even bigger with their "Our Concord; Today & Tomorrow" initiative, inviting residents to shape the community's future at their September 16 open house at Fire Station 1.
