Party in the park on Oct. 9!

Mark your calendars, Bay Village!

On Sunday, Oct. 9, from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., an imposing 3,750 pound black granite engraved monument will be feted in Cahoon Memorial Park, commemorating Bay’s 10.10.10 Bicentennial Celebration. The granite monument will also mark the location of our city’s buried time capsule which is packed with interesting memorabilia from the 2010 Bicentennial and other select Bay items. The time capsule was sealed in mid-September 2011, in a quiet, candlelit ceremony.

The Bicentennial committee is inviting residents and all who helped make Bay’s 10.10.10 celebration so successful to stop by Cahoon Memorial Park on Oct. 9 for beverages and cake and to visit Bay’s newest commemorative link to the future.  The 1818 Cahoon Family Homestead will also be open for free tours by the Historical Society’s docents and guides. They will be on hand to answer questions about Bay’s early years. A limited-edition, signed and numbered print by Bay’s well-known watercolor artist, Thomas William Jones, will be awarded. The original signed watercolor is available for sale from the artist and is priced at $22,000.

On Oct. 9, look for the flags and balloons flying in Cahoon Memorial Park. Come for refreshments and cake, visit and tour the Cahoon homestead and see Bay’s newest commemorative marker. Come spend some time reliving the past and linking to the future. We’ll see you on Sunday, Oct. 9, between 2 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.!
