Printed in USA © 2015 800-775-TOUR 2 3 DestinationGeauga.com Rest & Relaxation Share Your Story & Picture A Punderson Cabin Punderson Manor Lodge Discover the rich history of beautiful Punderson Manor State Park Lodge and Conference Center View of Punderson Lake from the Boardwalk Punderson’s history dates to the ice age, as receding glaciers left a 90-acre lake that is 85-90 feet deep in places – and is one of Ohio’s few naturally-formed inland lakes. Arriving from Connecticut in 1806, Lemuel Punderson surveyed the area and dubbed the lake “The Big Pond.” Lemuel, wife Sybil, and their six children lived in a cabin originally built for the workers of the family’s grist mill and distillery. After Lemuel’s death in 1822, the pond was renamed 800-775-TOUR “Punderson,” and upon Sybil’s death the lake was opened for public use. In 1902, W.B. Cleveland began acquiring land around the lake, and after marrying Ocie Coppedge in 1904, construction began on the “Big House,” located where the Manor stands today. When W.B. Cleveland fell ill in the 1920s, the Cleveland/ Coppedge families entered into a land contract with builder Karl Long, who spent $250,000 to tear down the existing “Big House” (leaving only the chimneys) and build an English Style Tudor Mansion. In 1929, Long defaulted on the mortgage and abandoned the property, which reverted back to the Cleveland/Coppedge families. Ocie Coppedge operated a girl’s summer camp at the Mansion in the 1930s. No longer able to support the camp or keep up the property, Ocie sold the rights to the land to the State of Ohio in 1948. The State began renovations in 1951 and opened the Mansion’s 8 guest rooms and dining facilities to the public in 1956. A $1.4 million addition in 1965 added 24 additional lodge rooms and 26 cottages, and on February 1, 1966, Punderson Manor State Park Lodge was unveiled to the public. In March 2015, Punderson Manor will again welcome back the public after a massive renovation program. Highlights will include completely-refurbished 2-bedroom cabins, updated indoor and outdoor pools, a new lakeside boardwalk and many other behind-the-scenes renovations to make your stay even more enjoyable. 4 The updates will be joined by other long-time favorites like the 18 hole championship golf course, marina, full-service Cherry Dining Room, fire pits, shuffleboard, game room, volleyball, tennis & basketball courts, disc golf course, playground, miles of trails for hiking or cross-country skiing, sledding hill, Haunted History Tours, horse drawn carriage and sleigh rides, and much more. And Punderson Manor remains a popular stop for groups of all sizes – including corporations, weddings, and family reunions – who appreciate having all the amenities for a successful function within a charming and historic setting.

For more dining options check listing on pg. 44. 800-775-TOUR For self-proclaimed family man and restaurant owner Jaret Havanchak, a meal is more than just food - it’s mostly about family and community. Jaret acquired his passion for food at an early age. After harvesting vegetables in his grandmother’s garden at age five and helping his mother in the kitchen growing up, he received his first job in a restaurant at age 16. Jaret took his passion further and graduated from Pennsylvania Culinary Institute in 2002 and began working under French inspired Chef Rick Boyer at the white table cloth restaurant “Wright’s” in Phoenix, Arizona. In 2008, Jaret began his journey as a restaurant owner and took control of seafood hotspot Lure Bistro, located in downtown Willoughby. 6 Six years later, he opened Square Bistro, located in historic downtown Chardon. Square Bistro specializes in unique dishes in a casual setting, a dozen hand crafted beers on tap and an experience you can’t get anywhere else in Chardon. Now 32, Jaret resides in Chardon and when he’s not preparing quality cuisine at his two restaurants, he is enjoying the company of his three children, Ava, 6, twins Ivy and Elena, 4, and wife Rebekah, 33. Watching his children grow up in Chardon has strengthened his love for the community and reinforced his push to support local farmers in his restaurants. Havanchak focuses on fresh ingredients in all of his dishes including locally grown and raised beef, pork & lamb from New Creations Farm in Chardon. His vegetables are also acquired from various farms in the Geauga County area. 7 DestinationGeauga.com Our Amish Neighbors... Many people visit Geauga County looking for unique shopping experiences. Hershbergers Housewares provides a wide range of unusual and hard to find items. Store owners Gideon & Margaret Hershberger tell us how Hershberger Housewares came to be… In February of 1993 the doors opened for Hershberger Housewares. When I, Margaret, was diagnosed with a serious heart condition and with our children being young, it was decided to start this as a supplement to help with medical expenses. With my heart just functioning at 20% we didn’t know which way the Lord would lead us. Our children have met people from different cultures all over the world. A group of Japanese students visited our home, they bowed and thanked us in soft voices. Through their interpreter they told us of the crowded living conditions in Japan and how much our home would be worth there. German students visited the store and spoke a dialect similar enough to ours that we could easily communicate. An 80 yr old man from Turkey saw our sons re-shingling the barn roof, and having never seen a shingle before, climbed right up the ladder! The store has been a good learning experience for us all. When we first opened we carried mostly quality kitchenware including stainless steel bowls, stock pots, and all kinds of kitchen accessories. Since the year 2000, more people have shown an interest in growing and preserving their own food so we carry food steamers, food mills for sauces, and pressure canners for canning meats and vegetables. We also carry oil lamps, fittings and chimneys, battery lanterns and lamps. Our clientele has grown over the years to an even mix of Amish and non-Amish. While we use these products everyday; you may find them useful when the power fails. The kitchen selections have now greatly expanded and we carry jams and jellies, local maple syrup and honey, a wide assortment of gloves, games and toys for the family, framed wildlife paintings, braided and woven throw rugs. In 1998 we added an addition to our store called the “Country Candle Corner”. We carry Yankee Candles™, Wood Wick™, and Colonial Candles™, wreaths, and candle accessories. Twenty two years later we are still enjoying meeting and making new friends, and now as grandparents we thank God each day for the blessings He has given us. We are open Mon. thru Fri. 8:30 am to 5 pm, Sat. 8:30 am to 4 pm, and Closed Sunday. 440-632-9065, 15419 Route 528, Middlefield, OH (1 mile south of Route 87 on 528). Monday and Saturdays are great days to shop in Amish country. All Amish shops are closed on Sunday.

Historic Chardon Square • 440-285-3519 chardonsquareassociation.org 21 DestinationGeauga.com The Story of the Burton Chamber of Commerce Log Cabin and Sugar Camp A sweet time to visit Tree Tapping Cermenony in Burton More than just Maple Since 1931 Each spring, from late Feb. to early April, community groups throughout the county host “all-youcan-eat” pancake breakfasts serving real Geauga County maple syrup. See the events on pages 12-21 to find a listing of some of these breakfasts & mark your calendar for this sweet time Geauga County has a rich history in the production of maple syrup. One of the earliest supporters of the maple industry is the Burton Chamber of Commerce and their Log Cabin and Sugar Camp in Burton, Ohio, here is the story for how they started... In March of 1931 a new log cabin officially opened in Burton, Ohio. This unique log cabin was built by the Burton Chamber of Commerce, in the throws of the depression, to promote the maple industry in Geauga County. The cabin opened with record breaking crowds attending the first Maple Sugar Carnival in Burton, Ohio. Local men & women cooked syrup in open kettles over big camp fires. People from country and city made Rachel Newcomb, 1931 Geauga Leader their pilgrimage to witness the process of making sugar on that day. Syrup vendors were kept occupied boiling the sweet offering which the crowd bought and stirred in the light of the camp fires. Displays of maple cream, sugar and syrup attracted the eyes of the visitors and purchases of these wares for the day exceeded expectations. Dan Byler and Hitch, 1931 Geauga Leader Mary Douttiel,1931 Geauga Leader 800-775-TOUR 22 Each day brought more visitors to the cabin, all of whom were interested in the making and sampling of one of Geauga’s famous products. Indications were that the maple industry would flourish for a number of weeks longer. Some 84 years later the tradition of maple syrup production in Burton by the Burton Chamber of Commerce is alive and well. Volunteers continue to collect and boil the sweet maple sap into syrup and all proceeds from sales are given back to the community in many forms. The Burton Chamber has provided assistance to athletic groups, youth scouting organizations, students in the form of scholarships, hospitals, local businesses, and many other organizations during those years. In addition, the non-profit funds generated through sales at the Log Cabin support the Chambers’ beautification efforts of Burton Village through flower baskets, Watch syrup being made at the cabin in season The next generation of candy makers in training plantings and Holiday decorations. These funds also provide for public restrooms, all at no expense to the inhabitants of Burton or visitors to the Log Cabin and the park. Please continue to support the tradition of volunteerism and promotion of the maple heritage of Geauga county by visiting the Log Cabin located in historic Burton Village or visit us online at The Burton Chamber of Commerce Log Cabin and Sugar Camp is open yearround. Stop in and sample some of the sweet treats or sit by the fire...we love to tell the story of maple syrup and Geauga County. burtonchamberofcommerce.org Donations are greatly appreciated. Maple sugaring is 100% weather dependant. It is always best to call ahead to see if a sugar house is “boiling” The Burton Log Cabin and Sugar Camp was built as a replica of the log cabin Abraham Lincoln grew up in. Since it was build additions have been made to add a storage area and public bathrooms. 23 DestinationGeauga.com 1 2015 Geauga County Advertiser Map Welcome to Geauga County Destination Geauga Tourism Office 1 5 6 7 8 Burton Antiques Market* Great Geauga County Fair* Historical Engine Society* Huntsburg Pumpkin Festival Sisters of Notre Dame 53rd Annual Barbecue & Boutique FARMS & FARM MARKETS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ANTIQUE DEALERS & FLEA MARKETS t.

Deborah Wenner tells the story of Country Arts & Jewelry. It all began in 1986 when my parents, Carol and Jerry went to their first show in Washington D.C., with my aunt and uncle who had a shop in Virginia. They helped each other and shared many ideas over the years as both family businesses grew. The products they offered varied from sterling silver jewelry and rings, Native American artifacts, African leather jewelry, blankets, jackets, and toys. Although I worked a fulltime job, I helped when my schedule allowed. We 800-775-TOUR started small doing specialty shows and flea markets all over OH and PA. My young daughter Jessica would go with her grandparents to the flea markets and also to work our permanent spot at Aurora Farms indoor flea market. When the outlets expanded and the flea market ended we needed to find a new location. We settled on Middlefield at the Flea Market on Nauvoo Road. Country Arts & Jewelry started out just in the front room where we are currently located. When the Market expanded the Sale Barn building to add more shops, we enlarged our store. When the walls came down, and the store more than doubled in size, it was time for me to become a full time employee at the shop. It slowly grew to include a much larger line of jewelry, rings, candles, statues, t-shirts, framed artwork and Native pottery, drums and artifacts. We then expanded into home décor, apparel and jackets, 26 and enlarged our crystals and gemstone specimens. Always looking for affordable jewelry we started buying beads and findings to sell and create our own designs. To find the unique and authentic products we wanted to offer we needed to travel to the Southwest. In January and February we do our main buying in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas which includes the gem shows and pow-wows. Traveling to California and Nevada to buy direct from the artists and craftsmen, and visiting various Native American reservations, allows us to hand select each and every item. We plan to continue traveling to select unique items and will always look for new and interesting products from the Southwest and around the world. • Alpaca Products • Amish Crafts • Antiques • Bird Houses & Supplies • Clothing • Collectables • Flags of all Kinds • Flea Markets • Furniture • Garden Supplies & Plants • Gifts • Home Decor • Jewelry • Native American Crafts • Quilts • Toys • Yard Statuary and more in Geauga County 27 27 DestinationGeauga.com (Painesville) 28 Shop Local Quality Locally owned, locally crafted... jewelry, Amish quilts, chocolates, wines, antiques, furniture, nature supplies, and gift items throughout beautiful Geauga County.... 19 Western Reserve Country Store (See ad pg.37) 20 Fowler’s Milling Company (See ad pg.7) 21 West Geauga Plaza (See ad pg.29) 22 Richard’s Maple Products (See ad pg.23) 23 For the Birds, Wildlife & More (See ad pg.36) 24 Rosepoint Cottage Tea Room and Gift Shop (See ad pg.39) 23 24 25 26 27 22 19 21 20 • • 7 8 For more Unique Shops see the member listings on pg 47 • • • • 16 18 9 10 11 13 12 7 Country Collections Antique Mall (See ad pg.27) 8 Sheoga Hardwood Flooring (See ad pg.37) 9 Coffee Corners Antiques and Coffee House (See ad pg.38) 10 Neetlights (See ad pg.29) 11 Quintealia’s Tea Parlor (See ad pg.7) 12 Locally Blown Glass (See ad pg.40) 13 Burton Log Cabin & Sugar Camp (See ad pg.23) 14 White House Chocolates (See ad on pg.7) 15 The Barn Treasure (See ad pg.20) 16 Habitat for Humanity ReStore (See ad pg.29) 17 Sharon James Cellars (See ad pg.39) 18 Geauga Feed & Grain Supply (See ad pg.36) ntie's Au • • • • • • • 6 4 ✪ 15 14 17 1 Ma & Pa’s Gift Shack (See ad pg.40) 2 Aunties Antique Mall (See ad this pg) 3 Laleure Vineyards (See ad pg.38) 4 Reba’s Second Look (See ad pg.29) 5 The Craft Cupboard (See ad pg.27) 6 Country Arts & Jewelry (See ad pg.26) 5 Destination Geauga Tourism Office A Dog’s Life American Asphalt Arabica Coffee Ava’s Bright Beginnings Child Care Best Trophy Cardinal Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation CAS Chase Bank Chesterland Floral Computer Options Giant Eagle H&R Block Howard Hanna • Huntington Bank (Inside Giant Eagle) • • • • • • • Intensive Care Doll Hospital LaPuma Bakery Miniature Cellar, The Ohio License Bureau Palma’s Hair Design Prestige Jewels Quickchange – (10 Minute Oil Change) • Salvatore’s • The Quilted Thimble • Turney Home & Auto (Ace Hardware) • Verizon Wireless • Zeppe’s Pizzeria LOCATED IN THE HEART OF CHESTERLAND Northwest Corner of Mayfield & Chillicothe Roads (Rts 322 & 306) Visit us on-line at www.westgeaugaplaza.com For Leasing Information Call 440-543-7437 3 1 2 25 Carriage Trade Boutique (See ad pg.29) 26 Antiques on the Square (See ad this page) 27 Valentine Antiques (See ad pg.41) 28 Craft and Antique Co-op (See ad pg.29) 100 Dealers & 20,000 Sq.

In the next generation, NC and Mabel helped organize the East Cleveland Farmers’ Market as an outlet for local farmers’ products in the early 30’s. As Sam and Iona took up the reins in the 50’s, they moved their farm to Caves Road, narrowed the crops to fruit and built one of the first permanent farm markets in the state. Their son Jim and wife Nancy came back from college and saw a coming trend toward pick your own. They bought his uncle’s farm and planted more apple trees and strawberries for that purpose. As more and more people came out from the city to do their own “picking”, it became apparent families were also Country Traditions In Chesterland six generations of the Patterson family have played a hand at transforming their farm into a destination for families looking for quality fruit and fun opportunities for their children. As it was in those early settler days, farms produced the food their families ate. Vandora and Augustus Patterson began reaching out by establishing an “egg” route through the Heights areas of Cleveland where they sold eggs, milk, chickens and fruit in the late looking for a reason to stay longer on the farm when they came out to shop at the market or pick their own. Gradually the idea of a Family Fun Fest grew and, under the leadership of the sixth generation with Dave and Pam, now thousands of families come out to enjoy the out of doors and learn a bit more about where their food originates. Son Bill manages the year round farm market while Dave produces what Bill sells. Bill’s wife Mindy, along with Jim and Nancy continue active roles in the operation. You can see the young 7th generation working as they grow up happily sharing their family oriented way of life. Bottled on-farm starting in spring 2015 Ever wonder what you might find at the Market this week? Late May: Asparagus, cabbage, radishes, rhubarb, spinach, and greens.

The Story of Laleure Winery Rich and Betsy Hill moved “to the country” in the spring of 1997 after both of their children entered college. They spent a year negotiating the purchase of the old Stoll dairy farm in Parkman with never a thought of vineyards or winemaking. But the long sloping hill, with excellent air drainage to avoid spring frosts, seemed to call for grapevines to be planted. Laleure Vineyards was established in the spring of 800-775-TOUR 1997 with the first planting of vines in what is now known as Betsy-west vineyard. Rich dug the first 250 holes, 12 inches wide by 16 inches deep, all by hand in tough spring-wet Geauga clay. Needless to say, a great deal of automation has occurred since that time. By 2001 Rich had made wine from their grapes, and in the summer of 2002 Laleure Vineyards was officially established as an Ohio winery. They converted the old dairy milk-house to a wine tasting room, and opened the doors to Laleure Vineyards. Six years later the tasting room was enlarged to include half of the old dairy barn where guests are invited to bring their own snacks and meals. By 2011 the outside deck area was completed, and winery guests enjoy a view all the way to PA on a clear day. Laleure makes awardwinning wine exclusively from grapes grown on the property, from varietals including Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Chambourcin, and Vignoles. The wines are made in a fairly traditional manner, and as such are more on the dry side. When you visit you will be greeted by one of the “Three Dogs” that serve as guides from your car to the tasting room. Riesel, Merlin, and Maxi are fixtures at the winery. The name “Laleure” was taken from Rich’s grandmother’s maiden name, Jeanne Marie (Laleure) Hill who was born in the Loire Valley in France. Jokingly Betsy says Grandma Hill was responsible for getting us into the wine making business, because when living with the Hills she insisted that she those who surrounded her have a glass of wine each day! In later years, Jean Laleure (Rich’s cousin) introduced the Hills to an old family toast, which makes use of a play on words – Tall pines, a glistening lake, casually sophisticated dining, and charming rooms await you.
