Good morning, Portage County. June is blooming with creativity in Ravenna as the Art on Main festival returns for its ninth year on June 14. The downtown celebration promises a feast for the senses with over 50 booths, five wineries, and live music filling the Courthouse Lawn. This year's addition of a Live Sip and Paint session offers adults a chance to unleash their inner artist with a wine glass in hand, while the little ones can enjoy free yoga and painting activities—proving art truly is for everyone.
The summer just got sweeter as East Coast Custard reopened its Lyndhurst shop after months of renovations. The beloved ice cream destination now boasts expanded facilities, improved traffic flow, and—perhaps most exciting—a convenient drive-through window just in time for those hot summer evenings. With extended weekend hours until 11 p.m., satisfying your custard cravings has never been easier, whether you're an after-dinner treat seeker or a late-night dessert enthusiast.
