The discARTed show is a challenge to 'think outside the trash can’,
utilizing cast-off materials in the creation of decorative and functional
artwork. Works created from recycled materials are carriers of memory,
containing vestiges of their former function into the new art pieces. The
possibilities for raw materials are endless, as is the potential for
artwork being created. Visitors are drawn to the mystery of what has been
created and are delighted with the unique artwork they will find.

How does
"Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh" sound? The excursion
begins at Ma and Pa's 1820's log cabin where you will find various rustic items
such as chainsaw carved bears, log furniture, hunting, fishing, and everything
for the rustic home. Then out into the woods one of their draft horses will pull
one of two old fashioned sleighs, wandering out into an open field where, during
the evening rides, the horses often stop so that guests can gaze up into the
star filled sky. When the trip has ended, visitors are welcomed back to the
cabin for hot chocolate or maple coffee and cookies baked by Ma herself!

winter, you need to stop in the historic town square in Medina, Ohio for their
annual Ice Festival. There, you will see a small downtown seemingly from Norman
Rockwell painting. Even more, you will see beautiful artwork made from ice as
carvers compete in crafting ice sculptures. Don’t worry, there are plenty of
nice little shops to duck in and warm up a bit.
