[00:00:02] Welcome to the Brunswick Group Therapy Podcast with Lucas and Kimberly.
[00:00:14] Here we are for another episode of Brunswick Group Therapy number 79.
[00:00:18] Welcome back.
[00:00:20] Thank you. I'm feeling much better. How are you?
[00:00:22] Now I've got it. So thanks a lot.
[00:00:24] I'm glad I gave it to you.
[00:00:26] Yeah, no, you didn't. Cause I don't know. It's like a yearly thing.
[00:00:32] You know, like when the temperature changes and stuff, it's a yearly thing.
[00:00:35] So pushing through and here we go. Let's get to it. We've got a ton of events.
[00:00:41] It's that time of the year. And we're going to kick it off with our number one of all time posts for engagement.
[00:00:51] Well, that's almost no, no, no. This one is the, the first one is the councilman Brandon Lambert putting out that hypothetical question to the Brunswick Hills residents.
[00:01:01] Oh, crap.
[00:01:02] If they would annex to the city of Brunswick, if they didn't have to pay more taxes.
[00:01:08] You're right. That was the number one. See, I've got brain fog. So it was a resounding no.
[00:01:14] It was a big old no.
[00:01:16] As a matter of fact, there had to be a special meeting for, for the township trustees later that evening to say, um, no, no, no.
[00:01:25] Yeah.
[00:01:25] Yeah. I, uh, I ran over there just to, uh, see pretty, was pretty much sure that's what it was going to be. Um, and sure enough, they just felt the need for good reason.
[00:01:37] I mean, it's, it's a hot button topic, uh, with township residents. And so, um, I think the trustees did a great job and just squashing that immediately. Yeah. So, um, you know, you know, rumors go.
[00:01:49] Right. No, I get where Brandon was coming from. You know, once you hit it, hit a certain, uh, population, you're eligible for additional, you know, incentives and stuff like that. And together we could, we could do more. But, uh, you know, at the same time, the Brunswick Hills residents really do have some, um, great benefits that go with being a Hills resident.
[00:02:12] Yeah. I mean, I don't know about doing more as per se, you know what I mean? I just, I, I told him in a conversation that I like the small time feel of the township. So it's easy to do events. It's easy to put on things in the city. Just sometimes, um, makes it a little challenging to do that kind of stuff. So I think they're going to work on that though. And, uh, in the future, you know, I think both communities will have awesome events and continue to support each other.
[00:02:41] Yeah. And I thought that was going to be the biggest post of the week, but, uh, it turns out it wasn't, uh, a little bit later. Michelle posted that, uh, the Brunswick blue devil mascot was disgusting and, uh, she doesn't like looking at it. Even though she said she wasn't a resident, she just worked in the city and she wanted to know what everybody else felt and everybody else let her know what they felt.
[00:03:03] To the tune of, I don't know how many, 1500? No, more than that. I think.
[00:03:08] Yeah. I think it was almost up to 1800 before she deleted the post. Uh, I didn't even get a screenshot. Shame on me. But yeah, that was the largest post we've ever had in, um, comments.
[00:03:20] Yeah. Yeah. So people are very passionate about, you know, township stuff and, you know, being a township and then, you know, our, our history with the blue devil and, and, and that. So we love hearing that kind of stuff from you guys. So, um, keep it up. We love it. Maybe be a little bit nicer in the comments, but.
[00:03:37] Keep it up. It's just, it got a little rough there, but.
[00:03:41] Right. And then after.
[00:03:42] That happens when you post to 38,000 people, you know, you're going to get that. So.
[00:03:47] Yeah. Yeah. And then after that post, everything calmed down a little bit and, uh, you paid a post for a single mom in need.
[00:03:54] I did. I got a phone call from, uh, Brunswick Hills Police Association. They were, um, helping a mom, um, with one daughter, age three, who just left a, um, toxic situation and had nothing but a couch and a TV and all their clothes. And that was it. So, um, the community has been amazingly responsive as usual.
[00:04:18] And, uh, now that mom is settling into a new home and a fresh start with her child.
[00:04:23] Very nice. So I'm glad we're able to, uh, do some good in the community as well. Um, looks like woven with promise is in need of winter clothes and shoes.
[00:04:31] They're running low on boys shoes and winter clothes, especially sizes four T and 18 and 20. If you don't know, woven, woven with promise is at St. Mark's on the corner of North Carpenter and three Oh three.
[00:04:43] And they just recently added a, um, shed. The shed was donated by the St. Mark Lutheran church and with their partnership, uh, it was placed outside.
[00:04:53] There's a little door on it that you can drop off clothes. Um, so no need to go during a business hours.
[00:04:58] Now you can drop it right into that shed door hole and, uh, that way they won't be a mess. It'll stay safe from the wither and the weather.
[00:05:05] So if you have, uh, those clothes and are able to help out woven with promise and the community, uh, that would be, uh, such a blessing for them.
[00:05:13] Very nice. Uh, what else we got? Let's see. Um, holiday craft fair at the grounded bean. They are looking for vendors for that event.
[00:05:23] Um, let's see, uh, December 15th Sunday from 10 to two. And it's at the grounded bean. If you're interested, um, booth space is $40. There's limited space available.
[00:05:35] So head on over, give them a call or head on over to their Facebook page. And again, they're looking for crafters for December 15th Sunday from 10 to two at grounded bean.
[00:05:47] And, uh, I saw this, I saw that the Medina County park district stocked fish into Brunswick Lake. They put in 400 pounds of trout. Uh, it sounds like a lot this past weekend.
[00:05:59] So if you're doing any fishing, you'll be able to, uh, maybe better chance of catching a fish. And, uh, hopefully once North park gets done, uh, they do have plans to stock that down the road.
[00:06:10] Very nice. Um, Brunswick Hills firefighters have, uh, some new equipment. So they have stair chairs, two striker stair chairs is what they're called placed in service, um, on the squads purchased with, um, Bureau of Workman's Comp grant.
[00:06:26] Chairs will assist personnel in carrying patients up and down the steps and hopefully reduce injuries. Two chairs. This is crazy. Cost a little over 10 grand.
[00:06:36] Yeah. So, um, you know, just one more great resource for our first responders.
[00:06:43] And I saw that they got new gloves for all the firemen and, uh, first responders as well through a, uh, another grant. So.
[00:06:50] They did. Yeah.
[00:06:51] Great job at submitting grants and saving community money and, uh, getting some of our tax money back into the community.
[00:06:57] Absolutely. This is one of my favorite. I'm going to let you talk about it cause it's beer, but go ahead.
[00:07:02] Uh, their November flatbread for Ignite Brewing Company is all about the creamy cheesy goodness. It is a melty beer cheese, mac and cheese, crispy bacon, jalapeno chicken tender and drizzled with ranch flatbread.
[00:07:18] I'm sick and it sounds good. Oh my gosh. That is amazing. Maybe minus the jalapenos.
[00:07:24] No, extra jalapenos. I haven't met a flatbread there. I haven't liked.
[00:07:28] Oh my gosh. Their flatbread is amazing. Amazing. Um, we are going to take a break here and talk to Taylor over at Parks and Rec.
[00:07:41] And, uh, she's got some events coming up. Um, one of them that she wants to talk about. So let's take a break and talk to her.
[00:07:48] All right, let's do it.
[00:07:49] All right. We got, uh, Taylor here from the Parks and Rec City of Brunswick and she's got us, uh, some information to give us for some upcoming events.
[00:07:56] Taylor, how are you doing today?
[00:07:58] I'm good. Thank you for the opportunity to speak to you today about what we have coming up this December.
[00:08:05] Yeah, we're excited. I heard there's a lot of good things, uh, to enjoy this month. What's going on?
[00:08:09] So the main thing I want to talk about is our Winter Wonderland Party. It's the annual City of Brunswick Community Christmas Party. It'll be at the Recreation Center on December 8th from 1 to 3 p.m.
[00:08:25] That's awesome.
[00:08:26] Great. And what kind of activities are going to be going on that day?
[00:08:29] Well, it's a long list. Number one, Rick Smith Jr. He will be here performing at 1.30 and he's going to do a 45 minute magic show. If you haven't seen him, he's great. A lot of entertainment for, for the family for that.
[00:08:44] Of course, we'll have Santa and his elves. We'll have a very talented Brunswick resident here doing face painting. Balloon artist, holiday craft. We'll have some snacks. There'll be cookie decorating.
[00:08:58] We're going to be making reindeer food. There's going to be a bounce house and ga-ga ball.
[00:09:03] Wow. That is a lot.
[00:09:04] That sounds like a lot of fun packed into one spot. I saw Rick Smith at, uh, at the Rec Center outside on the outside stage this summer. And that is a magician you don't want to miss. Very, very entertaining.
[00:09:15] Yeah, he's extremely talented, um, but he is so easy to work with. He had some time that day, fit us right in. So we're, we're very excited to have him come back.
[00:09:26] That's fantastic.
[00:09:27] So Taylor, is there a charge for this or do we need to put reservations in in advance so you know how many are coming or anything like that?
[00:09:34] No, this is free admission and it's a community event. So bring your family, bring your friends, bring your grandparents.
[00:09:42] And one thing that we're going to try and do more frequently is, um, have free community events once a month. So keep your eyes peeled for some events coming up here in the near future and those will be free also.
[00:09:56] So then Brunswick Parks and Rec is on Facebook and Twitter and, uh, you can follow them in those places and anywhere else they should be looking.
[00:10:04] We do have an Instagram account. You could find us on there.
[00:10:06] All right. And, uh, when was that event again?
[00:10:09] Sunday, December 8th from 1 to 3 p.m.
[00:10:12] At the Brunswick Rec. And, uh, again, thank you to, uh, Taylor, the director of Parks and Rec.
[00:10:17] And, uh, you guys have been doing some great things up in your social media game. And like you said, you know, you're going to try and have something once a month.
[00:10:26] So check out their Facebook page, follow them along, um, or any of their other social media things.
[00:10:32] And, uh, anything else, Taylor, you want to share with us? Do you guys have a sale going on anytime soon for memberships?
[00:10:38] We do. The entire month of December, all of our memberships will be, um, 50% off all annual memberships.
[00:10:44] Our slogan is come join the herd. You'll know why pretty soon.
[00:10:48] And also, uh, wondering why I haven't seen you on Tuesday nights for the water aerobics class.
[00:10:54] Because you told me I couldn't wear my pajamas, so I'm not coming into like a word.
[00:10:59] Yes. All right. I'll, I'll come if you, if you show up to in your pajamas, so.
[00:11:04] That sounds like a deal.
[00:11:05] All right. Thanks again, Taylor.
[00:11:07] Thanks, Taylor.
[00:11:08] Have a good one.
[00:11:09] All right. That sounds like a great event for the holidays.
[00:11:12] Uh, they've been doing so many great things over there with, uh, summer concert series.
[00:11:16] I think they're working on a winter concert series.
[00:11:19] Um, and then of course this, and then I know they got some other great things planned going on.
[00:11:24] So make sure you follow them on Facebook or Instagram or Twitter or wherever you like to get your information.
[00:11:29] We'll be keeping you updated here as well.
[00:11:31] And, uh, thanks for stopping by Taylor.
[00:11:34] Yeah. And, uh, just a reminder, like Taylor told us, the, uh, memberships are going to be 50% off for the whole month of December.
[00:11:40] So in thinking about it, it's a great time to join.
[00:11:43] All right. And, uh, while we're taking breaks, let's take another one, head over to Houndstown and talk to Roger about Samuel.
[00:11:50] The three-year-old male mixed breed.
[00:11:53] I always, I laugh because when dogs are just named regular people names, it always makes me laugh.
[00:11:59] Samuel.
[00:12:00] Samuel.
[00:12:01] Okay.
[00:12:01] Hi everyone. It's Roger from Houndstown.

[00:12:15] Uh, so he knows all of his basic commands.
[00:12:18] He's great around other dogs and humans looking for his forever home.
[00:12:22] If you would like to, uh, arrange a meet and greet, give us a call here at 330-460-3052.
[00:12:29] We'd love to have you come in to do a meet and greet.
[00:12:31] Also, if you wanted to see more information about Samuel, feel free to go to our public Facebook page.

[00:13:11] We, you can see, uh, a good percentage of the facility while you're here and also, uh, get your pictures taken with Santa.

[00:19:06] You do live or fake?
[00:19:08] We do artificial.
[00:19:09] He won't let me get a live one.
[00:19:11] We did do live a couple of years.
[00:19:12] And then we went to fake.
[00:19:13] And I think we've stuck with fake.
[00:19:15] And I don't know.
[00:19:16] Might be nice to have a live one.
[00:19:17] Do you like the smell?
[00:19:18] Yeah.
[00:19:18] I just, I don't know about the cleanup and stuff though.
[00:19:21] Yeah.
[00:19:21] It only takes a few minutes, right?
[00:19:23] Right.
[00:19:23] Yeah.
[00:19:23] Right.
[00:19:24] Yeah.
[00:19:25] It's me cleaning up anyway.
[00:19:26] What the heck?
[00:19:26] I should go get a live one.
[00:19:29] Tell us about this bourbon 101.
[00:19:31] Man, I don't know what to tell you because I don't know a thing about bourbon.
[00:19:34] I'm a beer drinking, Irish whiskey chugging guy.
[00:19:37] But this sounds interesting.
[00:19:39] Same day, Friday, November 29th from 7 p.m.
[00:19:41] Until 10 p.m.
[00:19:42] You can head over to Amy's Arbor's again to their tasting room for a fun evening of tasting with a one-hour educational class designed specifically by Amy and her bartending team for those who are new to bourbon scene or interested in learning more about their favorite American-made whiskey.
[00:19:57] Does sound fun.
[00:19:58] Aw.
[00:19:58] Nice.
[00:19:58] Tickets are $55 a person and seating is limited.
[00:20:01] Call over to Amy's Arbor and reserve yourself a spot.
[00:20:04] Learn all about the bourbon world.
[00:20:06] All right.
[00:20:06] Coming up over at Hendrix Family Dentistry are Photos with Santa on Sunday, December 1st from 10 to 1.
[00:20:13] They're at 4181 Center Road.
[00:20:16] Santa will be there, of course, to Photos with Santa.
[00:20:19] And bring the family, bring the smiles.
[00:20:21] Free.
[00:20:22] You get a free professional digital photo with Santa.
[00:20:24] So again, that's December 1st from 10 to 1.
[00:20:27] And they are accepting food donations in exchange for the photo with Santa.
[00:20:32] And that goes to feeding Medina County.
[00:20:34] So many great places around town are collecting coats and toys and canned food.
[00:20:40] Yeah.
[00:20:40] If you like to try your luck at the tables, the Medina County Office for Older Adults is planning a trip downtown to the Cleveland Jack Casino.
[00:20:48] So for only $40 per person, you can enjoy the casino.
[00:20:51] And that includes a $10 slot play bonus.
[00:20:55] But wait, there's more.
[00:20:56] It says after your afternoon of Casino Fun will take you on a tour of the Holiday Lights around downtown and then Crown Point in Strongsville.
[00:21:04] So they'll leave about 1115 and you'll be back in time for bed probably around 830-ish.
[00:21:12] It says open to 21 and over.
[00:21:14] If you're interested, go to the Medina County Office for Older Adults Facebook page or call them at 330-725-9176.
[00:21:25] Sounds like a pretty fun time.
[00:21:27] Does that make me old?
[00:21:28] I know.
[00:21:29] I was thinking the same thing.
[00:21:31] I mean, do I have to be older to go?
[00:21:35] It says 21 and over.
[00:21:37] Could I, could me and my wife go to that?
[00:21:39] You know what?
[00:21:40] Maybe we should ask.
[00:21:41] I might be up for that.
[00:21:42] Yes, that's when it's like your friend.
[00:21:44] Don't forget to get this on your calendar because this is always a popular event.
[00:21:48] So Sunday, December 8th, Christmas in the Valley returns to Valley City downtown.
[00:21:54] A whole bunch of things going on throughout the day, including the night before Christmas in the Valley Community Singalong at 6 o'clock.
[00:22:03] There's a 5K run and a one-mile walk and a Christmas parade and marching bands and floats and all sorts of great stuff.
[00:22:11] Mrs. Claus Storytimes.
[00:22:13] Check out the fire station.
[00:22:15] We'll host a free chili cook-off contest where you'll find a beer tent, raffles of all types, sideboards, and chances to win a lot of great prizes.
[00:22:23] There is so much in this thing.
[00:22:25] I'm just going to let you guys go and read it, but put it on your calendar for, again, the December 8th, Christmas in the Valley in Valley City.
[00:22:36] Come and spend the day with them enjoying food, fun, and shopping.
[00:22:39] Well-behaved leashed pets are always welcome, too, because it is an outdoor event.
[00:22:44] Very good.
[00:22:45] Very good.
[00:22:46] And one more thing before we get out of here.
[00:22:49] Don't forget about the Brunswick Caranas Craft Fair.
[00:22:52] That's December 7th from 10 to 3 at the Rec Center.
[00:22:56] There will be a whole bunch of handmade items.
[00:22:58] There's just a ton of good stuff.
[00:23:00] So if you go to their Facebook page, you can see some vendor spotlights where you'll see samples of some of the items.
[00:23:08] Mostly handcrafted.
[00:23:09] Very few non-handcrafted items.
[00:23:12] So over 150 tables.
[00:23:14] Again, December 7th, 10 to 3 at Brunswick Rec.
[00:23:18] All right.
[00:23:18] And I think that's all we got for the week.
[00:23:20] That's a lot.
[00:23:20] Yeah.
[00:23:21] And we hope to see you all at the Christmas tree lighting ceremony over at St. Mark's the day after Thanksgiving.
