Patricia Heaton to do benefit at BAYarts in July

Actress and Bay Village native Patricia Heaton will be at BAYarts on July 6 to help raise funds for the Fuller House renovation.

Bay Village native and popular actress Patricia Heaton will return home on July 6 to help BAYarts raise funds for the restoration of the Irene Lawrence Fuller House. The evening's host is local TV personality Dick Feagler of "Feagler and Friends" who is also a Bay Village resident.

Patricia is best known for her Emmy-winning role on "Everybody Loves Raymond" and the current hit "The Middle." She grew up in Bay Village, attending St. Raphael's and St. Augustine's before going to Ohio State. She currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband, David Hunt, an actor and director and their four sons. 

The Hunts are part owners in Vento la Trattoria on BAYarts campus. Both Patricia and Mr. Feagler are donating their time to support the revitalization of BAYarts and to commemorate the Bay Village Bicentennial. Mr. Feagler admits to being a bit nervous, because, he says, "I'm a fan." It should be a lively evening!

The show will be held in an elegant tent on the BAYarts Campus beginning at 7:30 p.m. with music by CB4 on the outdoor stage; the program begins at 8 p.m. Complimentary cocktails are included in the ticket price of $125.  There is also a limited number of tickets for a pre-show "Meet & Greet" at 6:30 p.m. at Vento la Trattoria featuring choice wines, Vento's eclectic seasonal food, a photo opportunity and preferred seating for the program at 8 p.m. You can order tickets on-line at www.bayarts.net or by calling 440-871-6543.
