You’ve still got time to get to some Family Week activities sponsored by the Garrettsville-Hiram Rotary Club.
Friday, February 25 is Friday Night Out. Take your whole troop to one or more of the local activities-bowling skating, dining, etc.–featured in the Villager pages. Make an evening of it. Connect. Enjoy.
Saturday, February 26 is the Family Fun Festival at the James A. Garfield Elementary School from 11:00am to 2:00pm…food, fun inflatables…games, great doughnut holes…what a good time! Ask-A-Doc is a new wrinkle and an introduction to Dr. Jessica Bittence, who’ll be the guiding light at the coming Robinson Health Center at Garrettsville. Come meet the “new kid on the block,” get your blood pressure checked, get information on services and support groups offered by Robinson. Stay for the awards and prizes. Bring the family. Make a day of it!
Of course, you missed the 10th Annual Family Music Festival. It was the kick-off event for the whole week and featured performers from across the spectrum of local talent, from Jill Waters, who opened the proceedings with the National Anthem (accompanied by Rotarian Jim Irwin), through the “Sizzlers” of the Nelson United Methodist Church (You know how the TV people do those “roasts” of celebrities ? Well, this was a “kinder, gentler”…funnier…version for local consumption. No major flames but some cute sparks), the Singing Grannies, the choir of the Windham United Methodist Church, the Windham Country Classy Red Hatters, harpist Ellen Eckhouse with a medley of Irish tunes, Tom and Brenda Mesaros and those ever-popular Friends– Roy Pancost, Dale Lacan, and Butch Seiler. Tina Lemley rounded off the afternoon by leading the audience and performers in singing a family-themed farewell. Great stuff…and just the beginning!
