Five Things to Do This Weekend
Get out for Friday night lights, Friday afternoon market. Get to the park.
The weekend is nearly upon us and beautiful weather is expected throughout. Monday is Columbus Day, which means a three-day weekend for some of us. Get out, take advantage of the mild temperatures and bright skies.
• Are you ready for some football? It's homecoming for , and the varsity football team plays East Canton on Friday at Woodridge, of course. Starting at about 7 p.m. The 3-3 Bulldogs have a good shot at notching a win over the 0-6 Hornets to make it a happy homecoming for alumni and fans of Woodridge football.
• Also on Friday is the in the municipal parking lot at Stow Avenue and Second Street 3-6:30 p.m. The fall crop is starting to come in, and we're told the late start on this year's corn crop means a later harvest than usual. There might be some sweet corn. See from earlier this season.

• Did you know there's a national park in our backyard? Yes, sometimes it's easy to take such an amenity as the for granted. Get on your bike, take a hike along the towpath, drink in the fall colors. Just remember to share the trail with others – it's likely to be a popular spot this weekend. And there's the popular Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad. Through the end of October the railroad is offering a special one-way fare of $3 for Towpath bike riders. Park in Peninsula or Indigo Lake stations (or any of the others along the railroad), bike to the next train depot, catch a ride back on the railroad.
