- Jackie Loreta-Rinearson

One more weekend to experience the amazing Garrettsville’s Christmas Walk, the area’s original Christmas Walk and fundraiser for the James A. Garfield Historical Society. Visitors may tour three Garrettsville-area homes and a historic landmark on Nov. 13, 14 and 15. Friday and Saturday hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday hours are 12:30 to 5 p.m. Purchase your ticket at the Historical Society, 8107 Main St., Garrettsville.

The walk offers an opportunity to gather with friends, find decorating inspiration and support the James A. Garfield Historical Society. Admission to the Christmas walk is a $20 donation, and reservations are not required. Guests should be prepared to remove their shoes while touring the homes.

Garrettsville United Methodist Church will be decorated for the season and will sell lunches. A Crafts & Artisan Show also will be held at Garrettsville Village Hall.

For information, call 330-842-2822 or email garrettsvillehistory@gmail.com. The James A. Garfield Historical Society is located at 8107 Main St., Garrettsville. Follow “Garfield Historical” on Facebook for additional information.

All Christmas Walk proceeds benefit the James A. Garfield Historical Society.


The Garrettsville Curtains up Theatre’s production for January is "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck. The show runs Jan. 15, 16, 22 and 23 at 7 p.m. and Jan. 17 at 1 p.m. Doors open half hour to Curtain. Sponsored by Sarchione Chevrolet.

We are excited to welcome back Joe Paydock of Mentor. Joe was in some of our early productions like "It’s a Wonderful Life," "Miracle on 34th Street," and "Cheaper by the Dozen." Recently, he played in "Shawshank Redemption." He never disappoints.

Come out and support this local theater. Follow them on Curtainsuptheatre.com or Facebook. Help them build their own theater on Main Street in Garrettsville.
