Sat 8/13 @ 10AM-10PM
Willoughby Hills is presenting its first Rock N Roll Day event this year, taking place at its Community Center (35400 Chardon Road).
Of course, there’s live music. Sumrada will be playing from 1-3pm with Ricky and the Rockets taking the stage @ 7-9pm. Rock N Roll Trivia will happen @ 130-3pm, and from 4-5:30pm, author Dave Schwensen will do a presentation “The Beatles in Cleveland” with rare footage.
But there’s a lot more. Opening at 10am, there’s a tribute to the late Michael Stanley with a memorabilia booth put together by Judy Zavodny and Stanley’s daughter, Sarah Sharp. The mayor’s executive assistant Gloria Majeski and Danny Tharpe will provide a Beatles memorabilia booth. There’ll be a cornhole tournament from 1-4pm (pre-registration required) and there’ll even be a classic car display from 11am-3pm.
There’ll also be book signings by authors such as Janice Mitchell, whose My Ticket To Ride details her teenager fight to London in 1964 to pursue the Beatles, and music photographer Janet Macoska will be selling her prints. Food trucks will be on hand from 11am-8pm.
The event is free.
