Spring Has Sprung!
MARCH 2017
I
t is finally March, and the first day of Spring is right around the corner. I think after this particularly unpredictable winter, we definitely deserve the warm days and flowers that are getting closer and closer. I do not know about you, but as the earth awakens from its winter dormancy, my creative juices seem to kick into overdrive. All this life and vibrancy after the dull grays of winter makes this the perfect month to celebrate the arts!
I am always amazed by the creativity I discover within Northeast Ohio. This region is so culturally rich that it seems one will encounter an artistic twist everywhere they turn. From the artful entrées of Chef Jennifer Drumm that almost look too good to eat to Painting With a Twist's awesome spin on a night out to Richard Doyle's mission to hang his art around the world, there is something going on in all regions of the county. It is evident to Medina County residents that our local culture is rooted in art. Downtown Wadsworth and Medina Square in particular really embody that artistic atmosphere, and I think it is safe to say that our architectural gems and rolling landscapes are a great source of inspiration to local artists. As such, it is also a constant source of inspiration to the Lifestyle team! As always, we are inspired by our community. Keep in touch!
