🍁 Geauga County Maple Festival Returns, Blending Tradition with Modern Tech

The Geauga County Maple Festival, a beloved tradition in Chardon, Ohio, is set for its 93rd iteration from April 25-28. As the community anticipates celebrating a century of festivals in 2031, technological upgrades like online payments and registration have modernized the event, enhancing attendee experience while preserving the festival's historical charm.

The festival has been a consistent part of Chardon's history since its inception in 1926, conceived by local merchant Art Carlson. His aim was to highlight and promote local maple syrup production as a rival to Vermont's, featuring attractions like free maple syrup dishes, a sugar camp, and a maple products display. Originally expected to draw 5,000 people, the event surprised everyone with a turnout of over 15,000, growing into the state's largest maple contest.

His performance, combined with the late-game contributions from Scott Barlow, Hunter Gaddis, and Emmanuel Clase—who struck out the side in the ninth for his seventh save—sealed the victory for the Guardians.

🚶‍♀️ Step Outside: How Just Two Hours a Week Can Boost Your Health

If you find yourself spending less than two hours outdoors each week, consider this a gentle nudge to step outside and enjoy some natural surroundings. According to a study published in Scientific Reports in 2019, people who spend a minimum of two hours each week in natural settings like parks, woodlands, or beaches report better overall health and well-being. The research, led by Mathew White, PhD, from the University of Vienna, indicates strong correlations between time spent outdoors and improvements in both physical and mental health.

The benefits of being outdoors extend beyond just feeling better. Exercise in natural environments can enhance the effectiveness of your workouts, and the serenity of green spaces can help reduce stress levels. Time in nature has also been linked to reduced cognitive decline, better lung function, and even a boost in Vitamin D levels from sunlight exposure.

Moreover, being outdoors has a positive impact on blood pressure and mood. Regular visits to green spaces can help maintain a healthy blood pressure and promote feelings of joy and satisfaction, enhanced by the calming sounds of nature.

So, if your outdoor time has been lacking, it might be worth it for your health to schedule a regular walk in the park or a weekend hike. Enjoy the health benefits of fresh air and sunshine.
