Also: The 7th Ward Citizen's Coalition is conducting their annual "7th Ward Garage Sale" in the former Big Lots parking lot (Midlotian Blvd.) and the Idora Neighborhood Association will be conducting a community project and block party, open to all city residents:

The project tomorrow is a small bollard (short pole) painting project being conducted by a group of neighbors in the Woodford, Volney, Parkview, McFarland area of the neighborhood. The neighbors will be cleaning and painting approximately 40 bollards that line the edge of the Idora Park property on Woodford Avenue. Following the painting project a small block party will be held on McFarland Avenue.

The YSU game was fun. Great crowd, everyone was friendly and the Hubbard High Scohol band put on a good half time show.
