See you this weekend! 🍪

Saturday is a BIG day for the 250 Jubilee! 🇺🇸

Start the day with the Great Avon Lake Bake-Off at Avon Lake Public Library. Registration is now closed, but once judging is complete, baked goods will be available for sampling and purchase by donation (proceeds benefit Avon Lake Historical Society).

Then head over to the Avon Lake Boat Club from 12–3pm for light snacks, boat & kayak rides, and a chance to celebrate a local tradition on the water.

Finally, warm up your jazz hands and finish the day at Broadway Trivia with Mighty Goliath Productions at Walker Road Park Pavilion! Team check-in begins at 6pm, and trivia starts at 6:30pm.

Baked goods, boat rides, and Broadway? Sounds like small-town summer at its best.

Bring on the beard!

Men of Avon Lake:

A beard like yours deserves more than quietly existing in the background of family photos. 🧔🇺🇸 July 3 is your opportunity to step forward, represent your whiskers with dignity, and compete for the glory that nature intended. And did we mention $250?

You MUST register ahead of time. This is not a “show up and dominate at the last second” situation. Legends prepare. Legends commit.

So if your beard has what it takes, now is the time to prove it.
