250 years, one county picnic

America turns 250, and there’s no better place to mark it than the grounds where Geauga County’s own story still stands. Spread a blanket, let the kids loose, and settle in for an afternoon that feels like the Fourth the way it used to be.

The Great Geauga County Fair Band headlines the afternoon, with old-fashioned games and Western Reserve stories all under one sunlit sky. Bring the whole family.
