2011 Avon Heritage Duct Tape Festival on Father's Day Weekend

The 8th Annual Avon Heritage Duct Tape Festival will kick off on June 17th, just in time to celebrate Father’s Day. The festival will be an all-weekend event starting Friday at 4:00 p.m. at Veteran’s Memorial Park in Avon, Ohio. This three-day event celebrates duct tape, its enthusiasts and its wacky and fun uses. The festival also honors the history and heritage of the city that is proclaimed the “Duct Tape Capital” of the world—Avon, Ohio—the home of Duck brand duct tape. From sculptures and fashion to games and a parade, everything at the festival revolves around duct tape and the wonderful City of Avon."

Sign Up for a FREE Dinner for 4 at Earth Fare in Fairlawn

Earth Fare, "The Healthy Supermarket," recently opened it's doors in Fairlawn (which isn't Cleveland, I know, but if you're a FREE junkie like me, you'll think it's worth the drive, too!). If you visit their website and click on the "start now" link to sign in, you will receive a coupon for a FREE dinner for 4 with any $10 purchase. The coupon is ready to print right away, so make sure you're ready! The dinner includes a whole (raw, organic) chicken, bag of carrots, and mashed potatoes, valued at about $24. We had ours last week, and it was excellent!

Their sale prices are pretty good, and don't forget to grab a coupon booklet right when you walk in the door to maximize your savings! The best deal I saw was Bigelow Teas (several varieties) on sale for $1.68 (price cut through 6/4 I believe). Use the $.75/1 Bigelow Tea coupon found in the Earth Fare Coupon Booklet and snag a box of tea for only $.93!!
