Winner of six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, “Thoroughly Modern Millie” opens June 24 at Rabbit Run Theater in Madison.  With lyrics by Dick Scanlan and music by Jeanine Tesori and book by Richard Henry Morris and Dick Scanlan, “Thoroughly Modern Millie” is based on the 1967 film of the same name.

Its 1922 and the height of the Jazz Age, as young Millie Dillmount hits New York City with no money but big dreams to find a wealthy husband. Filled with flappers, dashing leading men and a madcap villainess, Thoroughly Modern Millie is a musical suitable for family entertainment.

“Thoroughly Modern Millie” is directed by Brint Learned, executive director of Rabbit Run Community Arts Association in Madison.  For the past 20 years, Learned has acted and directed at numerous theaters in Northeast Ohio, including The Fine Arts Association, The Beck Center for the Arts, Lakeland Civic Theatre, Lake Erie College and Ashtabula Arts Center.

“Millie is simply put, pure old-fashioned entertainment,” said Learned.  “With laugh-out- loud characters who touch the heart, and thrilling, toe-tapping musical numbers, Millie is a joyful celebration of life and love.”

“We frequently offer productions at Rabbit Run featuring dance, but rarely at this level.  The hours that have gone into the choreography for this production have been grueling for the cast, but exciting in the final outcome.”

“The response to our auditions this season has been gratifying.  Typically, Millie is performed with a cast of 22.  We had so many wonderful performers audition for the production, we decided to fill the stage with talent and expand the cast to 34.”

Playing the role of Millie is Stephanie Harden.  Harden has performed at several theaters in the area including The Beck Center for the Arts, Lakeland Civic Theatre and Rabbit Run Theater.  She has also performed with the Cleveland POPs Chorus.

Playing opposite Harden is Ian Jones as Jimmy Smith, Millie’s love interest.  Jones performed last summer in Rabbit Run’s production of “Hello, Dolly!”  He has also performed with the Dayton Opera and at the Cassidy Theatre.

Also appearing is Brian Altman as Trevor Graydon and Ingrid Balstad as Muzzy.  Sandy Kosovich Peck is portraying Mrs. Meers with Tyler Collins as Ching Ho and Jayson Gage as Bun Foo, Mrs. Meers’ partners in crime.

“Find It…in Medina County”~ A GeoTrail Launch Event

Saturday, June 11, 9am to 1pm

What is geocaching?  Geocaching is a ‘scavenger hunt’ type of outdoor recreational activity that is of interest to those of all ages, and is fun for children and families.  Participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or their mobile device to seek containers (geocaches) hidden anywhere in the world.  There are currently more than 2.86 million active geocaches in the world and 352 hidden in Medina County.

“Find it…  in Medina County” is a geotrail consisting of 25 geocaches hidden throughout the area.  Visit various locations in Medina County and find out what makes the area so unique and special.

The locations of these hidden containers will be published on the geocaching website (www.geocaching.com).  Participants must visit each site, find the container and sign the logbook that is inside.

Join us at Wolf Creek Environmental Center, 6100 Ridge Road in Sharon Township on Saturday. June 11th from 9am to 1pm to launch this on-going GeoTrail in Medina County.  This event marks the first day of our new trail, with “passports” and coordinates for the 25 geocaches being distributed to those in attendance.

Those who locate at least 18 of the geocaches in the series and present their completed passport at one of our redemption sites will receive a specially designed trackable geocoin as a memento of the fun that they have had exploring the area.  (Limited to the first 250–  one per geocaching name).  A bonus surprise will be given to those who find at least 22 of the geocaches in this special series.

This event is presented by the Medina County Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Medina County Park District.

If you cannot attend our launch event, don’t worry!  Geocaches will remain in place for an extended period of time, giving you and your family plenty of time to explore Medina County throughout the year as your schedule permits.

Camp and Canoe Capital of Ohio

Loudonville, Ohio – May 25, 2016 – Knowing the ins and outs of a vacation can be really helpful. This can range from what to pack to what are the local favorites. One of the best resources for this information would be the front desk and asking the server at the restaurant. One other way is to keep reading this and discover the secrets to visiting Mohican.

Since Mohican is the Camp & Canoe Capital of Ohio, it is normal to see everyone in casual dress. Shorts, tennis shoes, hiking boots, jeans and a t-shirt are pretty much a prerequisite. Even at the restaurants. There are plenty of places to eat inside or out. In fact the Mohican State Park Lodge’s, Bromfield’s Restaurant, Malabar Farm Restaurant and the Copper Mug Bar & Grille at Landoll’s Mohican Castle, offer deck and patio options when the weather permits. During the dinner hour, a fresh pair of jeans and a nice shirt is always a safe bet.

Jim South, Mohican Trails Club Member, gives a little known portion of the trails that are great for hiking, “Many places on the bike trail are good – from the Discovery Forest to the covered bridge is probably the best part of that trail.” In fact there are places off the horse trails that will hike past abandoned homesteads. One rule to remember, be courteous. If a horse or mountain biker is on the trail, please safely step off to the side and allow them to pass. For more information on hiking in Mohican, call the Mohican Visitors Bureau at 419-994-2519.

Where is the best place to stay in Mohican? That depends on what is needed on the vacation. DiscoverMohican.com has a lot of information available. There are plenty of options and they will not break the bank. Some overnights offer year-round discounts. A number of the vacation rentals use VRBO.com or AirBnB.com. If the owner’s number is available, don’t hesitate to call with any questions about packages, etc. A number of the lodging facilities offer a $1 off movie admission to the local The Ohio Theatre.

Mohican is about the outdoors, but there is still so much to do, even if it is raining. Explore the downtown Loudonville stores. Check out the Loudonville Public Library. It may be a small town, but the library has a lot of activities that are free and open to the public. Tour The Cleo Redd Fisher Museum and Wolf Creek Grist Mill, one of the oldest working mills in Ohio. Visit the Memorial Shrine, where the names of Ohio Veterans, who sacrificed all they had, are handwritten in the books on display. Visit the Discovery Forest Exhibit in the Mohican-Memorial State Forest. Swim at the Mohican State Park Lodge and see if the naturalist is there. Programs offered by the naturalist and the Live Birds of Prey programs are free and open to the public.

The Wine at the Mill Fundraiser will be coming up in June, along with the MTB 100 and 100 Trail Run. Other events coming up this summer are the Safe Boating and Fishing Festival, the National Dutch Oven Gathering, July 4th Weekend & Car Show, the Great Mohican Pow-Wow, Flxible Bus Rally & Parade and so much more.
