PENINSULA MIX

Spring is my favorite time of the year. All of the flowering bulbs, Lily of the Valley, and of course, Dogwoods and Redbuds. It is also a time to remember Ralph Reinhart, Sr. who, for many years, gave away Dogwood seedlings to all of the school children in our community. Mr. Reinhart switched to Redbuds when a blight made it difficult to obtain Dogwoods. If you see a Redbud with a big thick trunk, odds are it was one given out by Sr.

Mark and his wife Susie recently visited the restaurant and he wrote about their experience. Pierogies of Cleveland is owned by our own Jennifer Harrah. If you read the online version her daughter Lexi Figuero is interviewed.
