Discover the Cleveland Home & Garden Expo (and Tickets!!)

January 27th, 2012

Cleveland Home & Garden Expo tickets from Lake County OhioThese are the days I spend dreaming of spring and summer (currently there is a mix of slush and ice and just plain ickiness on the streets so it’s not hard to wonder why). So how does one spend a day thinking of spring when the weather is not inspiring such positive thoughts? Well, I’ll be visiting The Great Big Home & Garden Expo at Cleveland’s IX Center. I will be exploring the exhibits and dreaming of new home improvement trends, gardening ideas, delicious meals (I’ll never be able to make on my own) and keeping my eyes open for celebrity guests.

This will be just what I need on a cold winter day! But I don’t want to rub it in…I bet you want to go too. I can definitely help with that – I have three pairs of tickets to giveaway to lucky winners! So that means three winners will be able to grab a friend and escape the reality of winter in Northeast Ohio any day the show is open, February 4 – 12. It’s simple to enter. Check out the rules below and get started. The contest is only open until January 31 at 4 p.m. so get to it!

Parking is $8 per vehicle (sorry I couldn’t help you there!) and regular ticket prices at the door will be $14 for adults, $10 for seniors and $5 for children. And don’t worry, if you don’t win the tickets you can still get a discount by using our promo code to buy tickets online. Visit our Facebook page for the code.  

Good luck and hope to see you at the expo!

Spend a cozy winter afternoon at Penitentiary Glen Nature Center learning all about winter birds at the Winter Bird Open House on Sunday, January 29, in Kirtland, Ohio.

Relax with a hot drink, watch the birds at the feeders in the award-winning Window on Wildlife and ask a naturalist all your bird and bird feeding questions. Chat with guides about the different styles of bird feeders, the ins and outs of binoculars and identifying the top ten birds in your backyard this winter.

Activities include:

· Short presentations on common winter birds

· Lessons about binoculars, feeders and bird field guides

· Bird scavenger hunts and quizzes

· Help us count the birds at our feeders for Project Feeder Watch

· Drawings for FREE bird-related items

· Displays of bird-related merchandise by local vendors

Other regular Nature Center activities include the sights and sounds of wildlife at the interactive Nature Calls exhibit. Guests can also visit indoor and outdoor native Ohio wildlife ambassadors at the Wildlife Center, take a hike on more than seven miles of trails (open year-round) or sign-out a kids X-Plorer Pack filled with hands-on activities that help you discover nature in the park. Snowshoes are also available for rent (weather permitting). Admission is free for all ages. No registration required.

Lake County Captains are getting ready for baseball season

January 23rd, 2012
Lake County Captains

Spring will be here faster than we know it (despite the fact that this warm winter already feels like spring most days!) and that means baseball season will be here soon too.  The Lake County Captains are ready for the season to start on April 5, are you?

Ticket packages for the Lake County Captains 2012 season are available now and the promotions schedule is up too. So whether it is dog night, buck night or a fireworks game at the ballpark, this season is sure to be a fun one. The home opening weekend will kick off April 12 at Classic Park in Eastlake, Ohio and the regular season will run through Labor Day weekend.

As far as ticket options go, we love the Mini Plans. These packages of 35, 20 or 12 games will let you choose the best Captains games to fill your spring and summer with fun and keep you in your budget! Another great option is the family four-pack. For only $44 you can get four box seat tickets, four food vouchers, four Captains baseballs and four Kids Zone vouchers. These tickets are only good on Sundays, but what a great way to spend a day with the family.

For more information about the 2012 season give the Lake County Captains a call at 440-954-WINS (9467).
