Duck Tape Festival -- Avon, Ohio

By -
This was my first visit to the Duck Tape Festival in Avon. The dates for 2015 were June 19, 20 and 21, the festival is always held on Father's Day weekend.

As soon as we arrived at Veteran's Memorial Park it was clear that this festival was incredibly well organized. There was parking on site and there were volunteers directing parking and even though we arrived near the beginning of the festival on the 19, there were quite a few cars already parked.

The first thing we did was stop at the Ducktivities Arts and Crafts Tent. We had a multitude of patterned duck tape to choose from and there were instructions for making wallets, belts, roses, etc. I crafted an owl purse (there were no instructions, but there was a picture of this design on the wall of the tent) and Dave made a wallet from the instructions provided. It was pretty easy to make our creations and Dave thought the instructions were easy to follow. 



From the Ducktivities Arts and Crafts Tent, we went over to the merchandise tent where there were a multitude of Duck brand products for purchase.

The theme of the festival this year was "Fun in The Sun" at the merchandise tent we were given our "passport" for the evening. The goal was to look at 5/10 sculptures throughout the grounds, once we had ten stamps we could get our passport photo taken.

The sculptures were large and incredibly easy to locate, a wide variety of ideas and art styles were showcased. Some of the artists were available to answers questions about how long their sculpture took, their inspiration and how much duck tape was used. 












We located enough sculptures and were treated to a free passport photo. There were a multitude of duck tape props such as hats, sunglasses and leis. Once our photo was taken, we got as many print copies as we wanted and they were kind enough to email me a copy as well.



To eat there was a variety of fair food, Dave and I enjoyed some stromboli, french fries, lemonade and funnel cake. The festival itself is free, so bring enough cash to enjoy food from vendors if you'd like to eat dinner while you're there. There are live bands all three days as well as a parade Saturday morning.

Today's Bride Wedding Show -- Cleveland, OH

Right after engagement season (the period from Thanksgiving to New Year's) it's bridal show season. During the last nine months of my engagement I have not attended a single bridal show. Now suggestions for bridal show events are showing up all over my Facebook page. As a 2017 bride with most of her vendors already chosen, I wasn't inclined to check out any bridal shows during the next few months, but I was offered the opportunity to be the featured bride at my photographer's booth at the Today's Bride Bridal Show in Cleveland, which gave me the opportunity to interact with other Northeast Ohio couples, as well as explore the displays at the IX Center. This is a two day event, I was present just for the second day of the bridal show. The super cute stemless wine glass above was available for purchase with champagne, wine, or a cocktail. As you already know I'm obsessed with all things Ohio, so I needed one of the glasses. Once I was done at my photograph

Afternoon Tea at Coquette Patisserie -- Cleveland, OH

Happy Mardi Gras! I wanted to get this post in before the end of February and it's fitting, because Coquette Patisserie has King Cake today.  On February 19th Dave and I attended Afternoon Tea at Coquette Patisserie -- this event required registration in advance and it sold out so if you see an Afternoon Tea pop up on Coquette Patisserie's Facebook page make sure to register yourself! Afternoon Tea is an event hosted semi-frequently at Coquette Patisserie -- a quick glance at their past Facebook events showed a December, January, and February tea. However, this is not a monthly event (yet), so if you'd like to attend one keep an eye out and then make sure to book a table. Afternoon Tea for February consisted of a prix fixe menu which included "a tea sandwich, quiche, French macaron, opera cake, cheesecake and fresh baked brioche with jam & compound butter, and a pot of tea or a french press of coffee." When we arrived we discovered tha

Velvet Tango Room -- Cleveland, OH

V elvet Tango Room is in a nondescript hole-in-the wall located on the fringes of the Ohio City and Tremont neighborhoods of Cleveland. From the outside the facade of the Velvet Tango Room blends right into the dilapidated buildings that surround the venue. On Friday night, the street was quiet, the glow of downtown was behind us, but Columbus street was dark. Had we not been to the Velvet Tango Room before, the glow of the neon sign would have been the only thing to lead us to our destination. The Velvet Tango Room is not like other bars, there are numerous articles touting how exclusive and elusive entrance to the Velvet Tango Room can be. You see, there is no need to make reservations to sit in the front room; although the venue is a secret in and of itself, the secret backroom, which is accessible by key card entrance only, requires reservations in advance...sometimes weeks in advance. Some people have written that the backroom is for the socially elite -- despite the fact th
