Kayaking concert takes to the water
Shamarr Allen, a trumpeter from New Orleans, will take the stage, sort of, in Toledo on Wednesday night. Mr. Allen is set to be the first of three performances this summer on the Maumee River as part of Black Swamp Conservancy’s Paddle and Groove series. He will play on a pontoon boat as listeners kayak around him. Attendees will launch in their kayaks from International Park at 5:30 p.m. and then kayak downstream toward the sunflower murals on the Glass City River Wall. The goal of the event is both to provide listeners with a unique concert experience and increase awareness of the conservancy’s work both upstream and in the downtown area.
The new classic: Wood County couple opens vintage automobile museum
MILLBURY, Ohio — As Tammy and Mike Bartlett have spent over two decades collecting cars, their passion has grown from storing their collection in one garage, to building a larger one, yet outgrowing both spaces. Now the pair is showcasing their collectables in a museum for the public to view. The Millbury Classic Cars and Trucks museum, located at 26929 Cummings Rd., features close to 85 cars and trucks on display, said co-owner Tammy Bartlett, along with vintage and neon signs, gas pumps, bikes, and mannequins. “It really never intended to be a car museum in the beginning, but as our collection and our love for purchasing cars just kept growing,” she continued, “we've decided, you know, it would be really nice to share everything with the public.” Besides the classic car museum in Bowling Green, Snook’s Dream Cars, Bartlett said there’s nothing quite like this in the northwest region of Ohio.

Trending upward: Valentine Theatre's upcoming season keys in on what people want
The Valentine Theatre will be paying tribute to music icons ranging from Neil Diamond to Cher during its 2024-2025 season. While some musical celebrations are returning to Toledo, two shows, Always Loretta and Hank and my Honky Tonk Heroes, are new to the area. The two represent an initial foray into classical country music by the Valentine, which is making the best of two trends: the rise of tribute shows and a resurgence in country music. “A significant number of people love the music of the ’70s and ’80s and want that live performance experience — reliving their youth or simply 'seeing' bands they wish they could have seen back in the day,” said Jason Stumbo, director of bands at the University of Toledo.
