Everything in one place
SANDUSKY — New and returning visitors celebrated what the community has to offer Friday at Sandusky's Community Collaboration Day. For the fifth year, community members, students and their families came together to celebrate before the school year. Booths from local organizations, including Sandusky Schools, games, a DJ and food trucks lined Mills Street as families walked around to explore each booth. The event was hosted by several Sandusky-based organizations — Sandusky Schools, Sandusky Recreation, the Erie County Minority Health Task Force and Father’s Heart Family Church.
In it for the long-term
Work at Main Street Beach & Park officially ended on Friday. Provided photo/SCOTT DOMMIN. In Vermilion, they're celebrating the new and improved downtown beach. Failure can be a lonely place, but with success comes credit to many for a job well done. Since 2006, the Western Reserve Land Conservancy, Vermilion's city government and the city's parks and recreation department along with dozens of public and private supporters have collaborated to transform Main Street Beach & Park. In 2013, another milestone occurred: The city purchased the former Inland Seas Museum property through funds raised from the public and grants. Erie MetroParks, meanwhile, also contributed by protecting and improving this waterfront asset. The Erie County-based park district created what’s known as Wakefield MetroPark, a 1.6-acre park in place of the former Wakefield Mansion. No flying by night here. Officials across a wide spectrum showed, in this instance, that collaboration and persistence pay off. Congratulations to everyone who helped make it happen.
