Avon Lake is considering a one-day permit to allow wine sampling and sales at the Avon Lake Wine Festival.
It’s not a done deal: serving and drinking alcohol in a city park. City leaders are looking for feedback on whether residents think this is a good idea. Council is currently reviewing an ordinance that will allow, for one day only (July 13) for wine to be sold and drank in Veterans Memorial Park in Avon Lake. Sales and tasting will only per permitted in a cordoned section of the park, and not in either building, The Lake House or the Folger Home, both of which are park property. The reason? Sales and tasting of 2 oz. samples, and sales of full, unopened bottles of wine are expected to be part of a fist ever city-supported wine festival in the park.

Make your views of school district heard
If you couldn't make one of the public forums to discuss hiring a new schools superintendent this week, you can still make your views known to Avon Local Schools. The district has posted a poll on its website. The 22-question poll should take between five and 10 minutes to complete. In addition to the multiple-choice survey questions, there are also five questions where you can write in comments.

If you've ever been to a wine tasting show, that is very rarely the case. On the other hand, the law is the law and the ordinance is in place. Tough… more ›
