'Scavengers' snap photos during Medina County Park District nature hunt
|
MEDINA, Ohio -- It took some determination on a chilly January weekend, but the hunters still managed to bag their prey.
This past weekend (Jan. 18 and 19), the Medina County Park District hosted a Nature Photo Scavenger Hunt at Wolf Creek Environmental Center, 6100 Ridge Road in Sharon Township. Saturday brought about 20 visitors to search for designated items, both inside and outside the center. Sunday's snow and 13-degree temperature discouraged much outdoor searching, but it was still possible to take photos of enough of the listed items to earn a prize.

Artist Zay's work graces many Medina homes: Medina County Local Legends
|
|
MEDINA, Ohio -- Grace Zay has been a shining light in the Medina County arts community since she and her husband, Arthur, moved to Medina in 1952. As a member of the Medina County Art League, she organized the first Medina County Art Scholarship fundraising benefit in 1971. In 1973, she helped to found the first Art in the Park show and market-- a mid-July event that now brings thousands of visitors to the Medina square each year.
Zay was born in Cleveland in 1928, where her mom and dad owned a grocery store. They lived behind the store, where they had no central heat, but warmed their rooms with a potbellied stove that burned coal stored in a bin in the basement.
