The third annual Log Cabin Days will be held Friday September 17 from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm and Saturday, September 18, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm at Hochstetler Milling near Loudonville Ohio. Last year, this fun-filled event attracted over 1,800 visitors from 20 states. Even bigger and better this year, events will include a lumberjack competition, chainsaw carving, craft auctions, seminars and booth displays, a mill and log home tour and good old-fashioned Amish cooking. In 2009, as a result of the large turnout, we were able to contribute over $2,000 to the American Cancer Society.

The highlight of Log Cabin Days is the self-guided auto tour, which gives you the rare opportunity to see the inside of several log homes, talk to their owners, and see what makes the log home lifestyle so relaxing and rewarding. There is a small donation for the tour, $10 per couple or $15 per vehicle, with proceeds going to the American Cancer Society.

Free events feature a Lumberjack show which includes axe-throwing, 2-man crosscut sawing and wood chopping; hand-peeling and hand-hewing demonstrations; chainsaw carving; educational seminar and booth displays pertaining to log homes; a log cabin raising; plus, a model, mill and kiln tour. And, be sure to sign up for a free bundle of white pine seedlings and register to win a free chainsaw carving.

For the kids we have buggy rides on Saturday and an educationsl forestry tour both days at 3:00 pm. A surprise visitors, "Johnny Appleseed," will interrupt his travel to be here both days from1:00 to 4:00 pm. He loves to talk to kids about his adventures and find out about yours.

Log Cabin Days is at Hochstetler Milling, 5 miles north of Loudonville, Ohio, ½ mile east of SR 60 at 553 SR 95. Free Admission ! For information call 800-368-1015.

Wings presented by Beck Center for the Arts
Beck welcomes back Cleveland theater legend Dorothy Silver in a role that inspires and crackles. American playwright Arthur Kopit does the unimaginable: taking us inside the brain of former aviatrix Emily Stillson as she experiences and recovers from a potentially life-shattering stroke. Wings is a brilliant tour-de-theatre that manages to both illuminate and share a touching empathy with the audience. It’s a truly uplifting journey that speaks to the strength of the human mind and body.

Little Boo is the perfect Halloween party for preschoolers who may be too young to enjoy Pumpkin Path. Trick-or-treat stations, games, and Fisher-Price's giant play area are just part of the fun! Costumes are encouraged.

The Toledo Zoo is the most exciting place to be this Halloween! Don't miss all the fun of this Halloween "ghost-travaganza"! Pumpkin Path offers more trick-or-treat stations than Little Boo, but there are no age restrictions -- if you can't make it out for Little Boo, your preschool poltergeists will enjoy Pumpkin Path too!

The Underpants
presented by Beck Center for the Arts

Steve Martin’s The Underpants. Matthew Earnest returns after a triumphant turn directing last season’s Is He Dead? Described by The New York Times as “laugh-out-loud funny,” The Underpants is about a puritanical bureaucrat and his wife Louise, who becomes an instant celebrity when her underpants accidentally fall down in public. Steve Martin uses saucy jokes, witty wordplay, slamming doors, and sophisticated literary style to lampoon our contemporary culture’s fascination with fame.
