You can park directly across the street. Doors will open at 7:30; lesson start at 8 pm. Cost is $8 in advance or $10 at the door. Call 216-398-8556.
This year’s Umpteenth Annual Harvest Moon Potluck will be held on Saturday, September 13, from 5:30 pm to dusk at Fairview Park, West 38th & Franklin. Bring a dish or beverage to share and a lawn chair. Just to be on the safe side, bring your own paper plates and fork, too. Oh, and also your frisbees, kick ball, bubbles, balloons, sidewalk chalk… Or just turn the kids loose and let them wallow in the infield dust!
Harvest Moon is a great time to run into old friends and new neighbors. Hope we’ll see you there.
