Paula Bunyan

There is a new trend taking place in cities lately of pretending to be in the country, not just in décor but in activities as well. Given this it was no surprise that indoor axe throwing began to show up as a weekend activity. This sounded like fun to me and a great way to let out some stress! Count me in!

Fat Axes in Niles was one of the first to pop up and where I met a friend for a Sunday afternoon like no other. The venue is set up with lanes a bit like a bowling alley. The rules were simple and clearly posted, lol.

I found my inner "Paula Bunyan" and got serious! Who knew after a few throws it would also be a great upper arm workout and that I'd be on target enough to actually get a bullseye!!!!

Other locations throughout NE Ohio have popped up as well like the Rhine Haus Brier Hall in downtown Youngstown, All American Axe Throwing with locations in Akron and Canton, and Class Axe outside of Cleveland to name a few. 

Canines and Vines Event

I am lucky enough that the area where I live in NE Ohio is surrounded by wonderful wineries. I couldn't even count how many are within an hour's drive, many being even less than that. With this not only comes to bountiful availability of wonderful local flavors in a bottle but also the myriad of events they hold.

What better way to spend a beautiful Sunday afternoon than to visit The Vineyard at Pine Lakes in Columbiana for a Canine in the Vines event to benefit a local animal shelter? Not only was it beautiful to take a stroll with Dante right in the vineyard between rows of grapes but it was also a great event to get him out and socialize a bit more.
