Blossom Time in Chagrin Falls

We left Catawba Island and headed east to Chagrin Falls, Ohio. “Shaggy Falls” as the locals call it, is the home of Jill’s sister Erin and Erin’s oldest son Chris and his wife Theresa.

The “Blossom Time Festival” is held every Memorial Day weekend in Chagrin Falls. There’s a race, concerts, a carnival with rides and a midway. But for Glenn, the highlight is the parade on Sunday.


The parade starts in the center of town and heads about a mile to the town cemetery. The town folks line the parade route and then follow out to the historic cemetery where Memorial Day speeches and prayers are held. Then the parade marches back to town.
