June 26-28, 2015 - Mayfield Heights

Unity Days
Festival
June 26-28, 2015
From Mayor DiCicco
On behalf of my administration and City Council, I am pleased to welcome you to the 22nd Annual Unity Days
– the event has a new date, but the same great food, fun and festivities! This event is the perfect opportunity to take some
time to enjoy the company of your neighbors, family and friends. There is a full schedule with something for everyone!
There will be rides and games, a vast array of musical groups to entertain you, and wonderful local restaurants
to provide a “taste of Mayfield Heights”. The north end of the park will house the always exciting competition of an
international bocce tournament. Saturday will end with a bang as we enjoy a remarkable fireworks display at dusk. Sunday’s festivities will begin
with our exceptional parade that kicks off at 1:00 pm along Mayfield Road.
We are pleased to announce that leading our parade this year will be Grand Marshal Tony Philiou, owner and operator of McDonalds
in Mayfield Heights. Tony has been a great business neighbor since purchasing the restaurant in 1978. He has served and employed several
generations of our residents.
Sincere appreciation is extended to the city employees, commission members, and volunteers who plan, organize and manage this
massive event. A special thanks to the local vendors who will participate in the event and to all of our generous sponsors. Of course, we thank the
residents who live adjacent to the park area who graciously deal with extra traffic and activity in their neighborhoods throughout the weekend.
An event of this magnitude would be impossible without the assistance and cooperation of these individuals and businesses. We are grateful for
their enduring support.
Best wishes for a safe and enjoyable summer season! I look forward to seeing you at an event sometime soon.

City of
Mayfield Heights
Parade Grand Marshal
Tony Philiou
Parade starts at 1:00 P.M. on Sunday, June 28th
The Mayfield Road McDonald’s Restaurant had just opened in 1961 when Tony Philiou
moved into Mayfield Heights and began looking for a part-time job. He was offered the
job of cheese slicer for $0.90 an hour at a time when the red and white tiled exterior of
the store was set off on either side by those famous golden arches. Tony never left. “I
felt it was where I belonged,” he said, and the rest is history.
Tony held the part-time job while working a full-time job for five years when the
owners convinced him to be their full-time manager. He bought the store in 1978 and
has been serving generations of area families ever since.
You could say the city, Tony and McDonald’s have grown up together. He has
worked on many ventures with the city over the past 54 years, from sponsoring little
league teams to helping clean the streets. Tony’s passion and belief that a strong
school district will maintain a strong community, has led to his generous work with
the Mayfield City Schools.
Tony loves seeing his regulars, especially the many senior adults, who have made
McDonald’s their “home away from home”. One of Tony’s biggest sources of
pride comes from helping employees develop their skills. Some former employees have
gone on to open their own stores, scores of high school and college kids have worked in the store while
pursuing their education, and others have been working with him for nearly 40 years.
Tony would like everyone to know this: He is still green, still excited, and still energetic about working with employees, socializing with
customers, and oh yeah, directing traffic. His fast and efficient service, offered in a comfortable setting with so many familiar faces, has
made the Mayfield Heights McDonalds a staple in the community.
