In 2016, the trees at Heritage Farm looked like this during the last fall foliage trip through Brunswick. (Sam Boyer, cleveland.com special issue)
Brunswick, Ohio-Can you believe it's time for a trip to fall foliage? My theory about fractions really works now. You know: when you are 5 years old, a year is one-fifth of your life; when you are 82 years old, this is only 80 seconds of your life. No wonder it passed quickly.
Hope everyone has good ideas, so this trip will include pleasant, dry weather. I'm really tired of raining almost every Sunday this summer. I hope autumn will be beautiful.
The Brunswick Regional Historical Society is preparing again for this tour (this should have happened last year), of course, we encountered a problem-the tires on the old hay carts were not working. Therefore, unless someone rescues them, the hay cart may not show up.
There are various activities and exhibits at each stop of the Autumn Leaves Tour. If you have never participated in the tour, please try it. You may be surprised by what you see in northern Medina County.
If you have not planned your tour route, please visit https://www.medinacountyparks.com/images/FFT_Map_-_FINAL.pdf. Stop at Heritage Farm along the way to say hello.
Missing numbers: Before the pandemic, John Dombrowski would come to Heritage Farm to repair old phones and explain what he was doing to visiting children. John moved and left me his number, of course, when my computer crashed, I lost it. I think he is still in Medina, so if you know, will you send me his phone number or let him call me? I would love to see him on a leaf tour on the farm.
Looking forward: Don’t you like how local residents decorate Halloween? It's so fun to drive through the neighborhood. And, of course, the children are looking for this year's snacks.
One place to start is the 9th Annual Trunk or Treat at the United Methodist Church in Brunswick from 4pm to 5:30pm on October 24th. The church is located at 1395 Pearl Road.
Due to COVID, church members will keep everything outside for one year. Hot dogs, popcorn and hot chocolate will be served. Each child will also get two crafts and an activity book to take home.
We encourage everyone to bring their children in costumes. They will go around in the trunk of the parking lot-or eat candy.
The joy of a great cause: October 15-16, October 22, and October 29, 7-10pm, Drake Carpenter at Brunswick Blueberry Hill A haunted attraction (Underworld Haunt) was held in the front yard of the parents at 1082 Avenue. 31.
It is free, but this thoughtful young man asked for donations, 90% of which will be donated to St. Jude's at the end of the season. Therefore, enjoy the haunt and reward his hard work by helping great causes.

Anniversary: Last week, the Medina Sunrise Rotary gathered around the Rotary Burr Oak Tree planted on the southwest lawn of Medina’s historic public square for a fellowship to celebrate its service to the community 27 years.
"Burr Oak is from Morgan Park, Illinois, the hometown of Paul Harris, who founded the Rotary Club in 1905," said David Lariviere, the club's chairman of community services. "When the City of Medina received it in the 1990s, it was not a 12-inch seedling. It is now rooted in the community and now stands proudly nearly 40 feet high on the public square of the historic Medina.
"The Medina Sunrise Rotary Club and our community partners come back to watch the Medina sunrise every fall, pay attention to the growth of our trees, and reiterate our commitment to changing the lives of children inside and outside the community. Through our time, Talent and wealth."
