Shop, compare and save at the 39th annual Medina County Home & Garden Show on February 28 and March 1 at the Medina County Community Center, presented by Fixler Roofing, featuring a red, white and blue trubute to the 250- year history of America. The focal point of the Main Garden will be a 13 foot by 8 foot American flag made completely of plants. Local artists will be demonstrating colonial crafts in the garden: spinning and weaving, finger pottery, working with leather. And don’t miss the backyard front porch constructed of vintage doors.
Medina’s John Burke will be in full dress uniform representing Revolutionary War Colonel James Smith who was captured and adopted by Indians during the French and Indian War and spent the winter of 1756 at Whipp’s Ledges in Hinckley, Ohio. He was later commissioned as a Colonel in the Revolutionary War, fighting in three battles with General Washington.
America could never have survived to its 250th birthday if it weren’t for the unselfish service of our veterans. To honor the sacrifices made by them, all veterans with military ID will be admited free on Sunday, March 1 to thank them for their service.
