Dear ,

Summer is upon us! After a nice refreshing spring, the warm weather of summer is certainly here, as we have already experienced a handful of 90+ degree days. It's been hot, but we are used to the heat around here; it's a nice change from our cold winters. With that being said everyone at Bay Corporation is excited to get out and enjoy this warm weather. Summer here means great golf games, picnics in the park, plenty of cookouts, and lots of ice cream.

From all of us at Bay Corporation, we hope that this is your best summer yet and that you stay protected from the sun!

What question can you never answer yes to?

(Find the answer at the bottom of the newsletter)
Taste of Tremont
Tucked away in Cleveland is a little neighborhood called Tremont. This artsy pocket of the city is known for its high-caliber chefs, unique dining establishments, and cool little watering holes bursting with character! During the Taste of Tremont, many neighborhood restaurants set up booths along Professor Avenue for patrons passing by to purchase samples of their award-winning food. Grab a craft brew from the beer garden and enjoy live music and DJs both on the street stages and in several of the neighborhood establishments themselves.
Towpath Trilogy
The Towpath Trilogy run/walk is a race series featuring a variety of race lengths along different sections of the Towpath that runs from Cleveland to Akron, to accommodate runners and walkers of all experience levels. The Trilogy includes the Towpath Half on April 10, the Towpath Twilight Ten-Ten on June 17, and The Towpath Marathon on October 8. All Towpath Trilogy races benefit the non-profit Canalway Partners, an organization that serves as a catalyst for projects and programs in Ohio. It directly supports the development of the Towpath Trail, Canal Basin Park, and dozens of projects within the Ohio & Erie Canalway National Heritage Area.
Juneteenth
Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery on June 19, 1865 - the day when all African Americans were freed from slavery. Cleveland’s Juneteenth Freedom Fest is now an annual destination event in the heart of Downtown Cleveland, which has poised our community as a national leader in celebrating Juneteenth. This city-wide, family-friendly celebration and commemoration of Juneteenth featured a main stage performance by Karamu House, the country’s oldest Black producing theatre, and a fireworks finale. Festivities also included a vendor village to spotlight Black businesses and entrepreneurs; community programming and education, spoken-word performances, interactive art demonstrations, food trucks, and beverage concessions.
Tri-C JazzFest
When you think of Jazz you might think of places such as New Orleans, Chicago, or Kanas City, but Cleveland is actually a jazz hub itself. To many music historians, jazz is American classical music. The 43rd Annual Tri-C JazzFest runs June 23-25 and features over 500 performances. Its located in the historic theaters of Playhouse Square and Cleveland Public Auditorium with free performances outside on U.S. Bank Plaza, under the world’s largest permanent crystal chandelier, over the weekend. For over four decades, JazzFest has admirably carried out its mission to foster the history and nurture the future of jazz, provide educational opportunities for students of all ages and in all walks of life, and bring world-class jazz to Cleveland.
