Local Foods Week is off to a great start! I volunteered at two fantastic events this past weekend. First was a large conglomeration of events at the Hills Market: a foodie spelling bee, the Hills farmers’ market, the grilled cheese throwdown, and an auction to benefit Local Matters. It was a ton of fun, and I was honestly surprised by how many people attended the grilled cheese throwdown! Last night was an all-Ohio cookout at the Hoover Y learning garden. There was beautiful music, a tour of the garden, and some fantastic food provided by two caterers. I couldn’t have spent the evening in a more pleasant way! If the remaining line up of events this week is anything like the ones that already happened, then this week will be an incredible success.

Whether you’re in the mood for a cooking class, a kid’s activity, a food or beverage tasting, or a suggestion of a fun place to hang out on any given night, you’re in luck. I’ll see you all there!
