This is a pretty large place with a main building offering baked goods, apples and other items. Outside are vendors selling kettle corn, vegetables and other items. Everything we purchased was delicious - apple cider, blueberry pie, honeycrisp apples, hot peppers, kettle corn, cantalope.

There are really several parts to the Loretta Paganini Cooking School. It has a professional culinary school where you can learn to become a chef. It has many classes for us laypeople just trying to cook better, and there is a lot in between. These include "hands on" cases that are closer to the training you would get to be a chef. There are also demonstration programs that are half school/half fine restaurant. We've participated in both the "hands on" and demonstration courses and greatly enjoyed both. Loretta Paganini, who teaches many of the classes herself, has a nice touch and is chock full of tips to make an exciting meal without getting too serious about it. Her staff, too, takes much the same approach. They have a wide variety of courses that are endlessly inventive, ranging from how to cook seafood, to fine Italian cooking, to book themes. We took one on Thanksgiving that helped us to kick our holiday table up a couple of notches. They are generous with references and pointers and will answer just about any question you might want to ask. They are also full of commonsense and realistic advice on how you can make a spectacular meal at home. The demonstration classes are limited to about 20 people. Come hungry. They will have a theme and you will learn a lot, but it's also basically like going to a fine restaurant and taking advantage of the 7-course tasting menu. Hint: bring a bottle of wine - most of the others in the class do and it can wonderfully complement the meal. They have glasses there, so just bring the bottle and enjoy it with the meal. [If you forget, Chesterland has two excellent wine stores just down the street on Mayfield, Colonial Beverage and Red, Wine and Brew]. You will see a lot of couples or friends getting together. We were here one night where a group of co-workers came to have an evening together. The classes are listed on line and it is easy to sign up for just about anything you might want. If you just want a night of fine dining, try the adjacent Sapore Restaurant, which is rightly described by just about everyone as a hidden gem.

Great public park that was given by the Patterson’s to the County after years as a fun golf course. The park has been left to go back to the wild and the results have been spectacular. My favorite season is winter for snow shoeing; no, spring for the awakening of the trees;nope, summer for the full bloom and wildlife and ponds; actually fall for the colors and apples. Oh well they are all great times. Several miles of trails- some groomed in winter.

Great little park, nice trails. There is a pond and in the spring you can hear the frogs long before you see the pond.
