Blaze
While it’s been blazin’ hot here, our sun belt sisters have had it even worse. And while the economy’s rough everywhere, it’s nice to know that Ohio’s unemployment is lower than the rest of the country’s. And meanwhile, we’re blazing new trails, just like our ancestors. Whether its zombie bowling at Mahall’s, a cool kids dance event at the Beachland, or just some fun creative summer classes, we’ve got you covered. And it’s all on our mobile app, so you can blaze you own path. –Thomas Mulready

When most folks attend a show at the Beachland Ballroom, they don’t stop, look around the room and think, “Wouldn’t it be cool if we had toddler and preschool-age kids here for some fun?”
