Grill of my Dreams...

By all accounts, Cheese Days beat out the rain. Reports are still coming in…


In fact, Michelle Conrow of WinlockNeedsInternet.com and seemingly tireless promoter for revitalizing her own hometown…

...was seen on the street in Toledo, awaiting the start of the parade Saturday.

Di says: Gallery 505 packed the house with 60+ art and music lovers on opening night Friday, and Toledo Made exhibitors and crafters boasted brisk sales for the event. Crowds didn’t thin much until late Saturday - a great turnout and successful weekend. Open Wednesday - Saturday 1-5 p.m. through July 30. Website link here. On Facebook here.

Jake says: Thanks to Charlie, Toledo walking maps were distributed to all The Other Toledo...The Other Washington kiosks around town in advance of Cheese Days.
Joh Jones and Jamie Cummings collaborated on this project with me, and reviews are largely positive. Vision:Toledo website link here. On Facebook here.

Charlie says: 284 visitors stopped in at Toledo’s Community Library, the Book and Bake Sale was a resounding success, and both Debby Lee and Darlene Panzera reported good book sales at Saturday’s Meet The Authors book-signing session. Toledo Community Library is on Facebook here.

Preliminary planters, seating and accoutrements hinted at Steamboat Alley’s historical pocket park future, thanks to dedicated volunteers.

Speaking of planters, Common Ground Garden Community has quickly outgrown their original collective desire to simply spruce up a few overlooked planters in advance of Cheese Days 2016, and no untended patch of soil is safe from their ministrations, as borne out by Toledo’s Post Office flagpole corner, now dubbed River’s Edge Garden.

Reminder: Brooke writes: Hi all, there is Garden Club (at Toledo Elementary School) Tuesday morning July 12 from 8:30-10 a.m. If possible, please get your child a good pair of rubber palmed garden gloves. We have a lot of thistle to deal with. We will also be planting some asparagus and strawberries and installing the rest of our sponsor signs. It will be a busy morning. I look forward to seeing you all there! As always, parent volunteers are welcome.

Email Gary, glenngarann@aol.com of Common Ground Garden Community if you can give the kids a hand. Common Ground Facebook link here.
