GEAUGA COUNTY EVENT RECAPS

The 9th annual Chardon Brewfest returned August 13th, 2022. With 25 Ohio-owned brewers and over 1,500 guests, this year’s Brewfest was one of the most successful yet. Guests were able to enjoy 52 types of beer, our local Chardon restaurants, pretzel necklaces, and live music entertainment including headliner and local band Risk Factor. Many thanks to our several local business sponsors and over 80 volunteers who have turned the Chardon Brewfest into the great event that it is today. This event was also able to give support to the Chardon Rotary, new Chardon High School Weight Room, Geauga County Special Olympics, and other local businesses.

GEAUGA PARK DISTRICT ART SHOW

Geauga Park District rebranded its annual summertime art show to add more NATURE to its theme, and the resulting event held August 7 at The West Woods was a huge hit! Attendance exceeded 1,300 during the six-hour show. Activities included interactive booths, live music, naturalist-led hikes and live animals, while juried artists inside and out displayed and sold their wide variety of handmade items. Thanks to all of you who came out with your families to celebrate Nature in art and support local artists.

METZENBAUM CENTER GOLF OUTING

The 15th Annual Metzenbaum Center Golf Outing returned after a two-year hiatus to the beautiful greens of St. Denis Golf Club on June 18th. The fundraiser hosted 26 teams and raised positive awareness for both Geauga DD, known as the Metzenbaum Center, and Maple Leaf Community Residences. As part of the commitment to help people live, learn, and earn in our community, proceeds from the outing will be used to benefit all people in Geauga County with developmental disabilities, Geauga DD, and their partner providers. This includes the Maple Leaf Community Residences and their efforts to provide quality, safe and affordable housing to people with disabilities. Geauga DD believes in building a caring community where people of all ages are integrated, accepted, and achieved. Thank you to everyone who supported the outing and also this vision.
