This Weekend in Brunswick, Medina, Valley City & Hinckley

Hey friends! The weekend is here, and fall is fully rolling through our corner of Ohio. I looked at what is happening Friday through Sunday in Brunswick, Valley City, Medina, and Hinckley so you can plan a great few days. Here is your weekend roundup.

Brunswick & Brunswick Hills

Pumpkin Village at Mapleside Farms runs Friday, September 18, from 4 to 9 PM, Saturday, September 19, from 11 AM to 9 PM, and Sunday, September 20, from 11 AM to 6 PM on Pearl Road in Brunswick. It is the fall headliner, with pumpkin picking, hayrides, a corn maze, and 20-plus attractions including the Valley of the Dinosaurs walk-through. This is the official start of fall in Brunswick.

Healthy Kids Running Series is Sunday, September 20, at 3 PM at Heritage Farm on Laurel Road in Brunswick. Kids from pre-K through 8th grade run age-appropriate distances in this five-week fall series. It is an easy way to get the whole family outside before the week starts.

Medina

Medina Square Farmers Market is Saturday, September 19, from 9 AM to 1 PM at Public Square. More than 70 vendors bring peak-season produce, artisan cheeses, flowers, and baked goods every Saturday through October 10. It is the perfect way to start the day.

ALL ABOARD with the Northeastern Ohio Live Steamers runs Saturday, September 19, from 12:30 to 4:30 PM at Lester Rail Trail on Lester Road in Medina. The Medina County Park District hosts free miniature train rides for all ages. Train fans of every generation will love it.

Fuzzy Caterpillars is open Saturday and Sunday, September 19 and 20, from noon to 5 PM at Allardale Park in Medina. This free family nature program from the Medina County Park District is a hands-on way to get the kids outside.

Starry, Starry Nights at Letha House is Saturday, September 19, from 8 to 10 PM at Letha House Park. The park district hosts this free stargazing evening, so bring a blanket and look up.

Rally in the Alley features Colin Dussault's Blues Project with Stakhouse on Saturday, September 19, at 7 PM at The Common Ground on North State Road in Medina. Live blues and good company are a great way to end the evening.

Valley City

Valley City's own calendar is quiet this weekend, and that is part of its charm. Mill Stream Park on the Rocky River is a lovely spot for a walk, and the park district programs above are a short drive away if you want family fun. Otherwise, take a slow drive through the scenic river valley and stop in at a local spot.

Hinckley

Hinckley's calendar is quiet this weekend, too, but the Hinckley Reservation is always open. The trails around Hinckley Lake and up at Whipp's Ledges are beautiful as the leaves start to turn. Pack a lunch and make an afternoon of it.

Whatever you get into, enjoy the weekend. And if one of these communities has you thinking about a move, I would love to help you find the perfect place to call home.
