SATURDAY VISIT THE ELYRIA DOWNTOWN MARKET, THE FOUNDRY, AND THE TASTE OF SOUTH


From Mayor Holly Brinda       
 
There is plenty to do in the downtown Elyria area this weekend and I hope you’ll join me.  Start out  
 Saturday between 9am – 1:00pm by visiting the new Pioneer Plaza Market between 320 and 336 Broad Street.  Thanks to collaboration with the City, Invest Elyria, the Elyria Arts Council and the Lorain County Urban League you can buy fresh produce, hand-crafted food and goods, art and more.  With the Elyria Arts Council right next door, visit them to view the talent of local artists and purchase unique items that you just can’t find anywhere else.

For lunch, visit one of downtown’s great restaurants including Cascade Café, Donna’s Diner, or the new Foundry restaurant.  Downtown’s newest addition, the Foundry, is a classic gastropub featuring local décor that celebrates the strong work ethic in Elyria, Ohio.  I have had a chance to eat at the Foundry twice since its opening last week and the food and beverage has been fantastic!

And before or after lunch this Saturday, don’t forget to visit the Taste of South celebration at South Park – 215 16th Street.  This annual event features fantastic food and family fun.  The best barbeque in the land, including succulent ribs, mouth-watering chicken, and more are waiting for your dining pleasure.  There is also live entertainment, games, basketball tournament and more.  I hope to see you there!
