My Town Monday: A Cabin Fever Reliever
So here we are in March. Cold again today, and the winds make it seem even colder. The sun is peeking through the clouds, giving the impression that it is warmer than it is. Anyone who has been here before knows that it has been a long hard winter in my neck of the woods.
For the next couple of weekends, March 6-8, and March 13-15, 3 communities in this area will be hosting a Cabin Fever Tour. This is an opportunity to get out of the house and visit the Western Reserve. There are opportunities to eat (always good), purchase locally made products, tour parks and historical societies and see what folks like us have to offer.
Come and see us at our gallery, Elements Gallery. In addition to new work of our own, we will be displaying work for Cups of Kindness, a benefit to support the Akron Canton Regional Foodbank. All work has been donated by local artists; and the proceeds from the sale of the work will benefit the Foodbank, where each dollar raised provides 7 nutritious meals. (The website, with new work added, will return in April.) I toured the Foodbank again last week. It is an amazing place, serving 8 Ohio counties, providing a most basic need.
Get yourself a cup of something good and take a relaxing look at spring wildflowers in NE Ohio. It won’t be long before the Village of Peninsula, population 602, will be like this.
You can find the Main My Town Monday Marauder, Travis Erwin, and links to other MTM sites here. Check it out. Join us if you’d like. Share tales of your town. We’d love to visit.

Your neck of the woods does a great job of finding ways to make the long winter less onerous.

It does sound like you have an amazing community. It’s been such a long and brutal winter, but since March has come in like I lion, perhaps it’ll go out like a lamb. We could use a little mild weather.

The Cabin Fever events sound like they will be fun.
Is Cups of Kindness running year round?
Love those flowers!

That sounds like fun. A great way to break up the cold and get people ready to move again.

There always seems to be something interesting going on around your way.

Looking forward to spring, myself. Right now, I am trying to motivate myself to go outside to move a hay bale, and having a hard time finding the motivation.

We had a warm weekend here, and a gentle rain yesterday afternoon with more on the way tomorrow. We sure need it; we’re still below normal. I remember what long cold winters are like though since I grew up in Pittsburgh. By March everyone is going crazy. The Cabin Fever Tour sounds like a fabulous idea.
