🌱Save Seeds, Save Summer + Support Girls Volleyball This Weekend

Hi all! I'm back in your inbox this morning with the most important things happening in Avon-Avon Lake these days. Let's do this.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny. High: 77 Low: 59.

Here are the top three stories today in Avon-Avon Lake:

1. Finding your next home shouldn't be a headache! As part of our weekly real estate roundup, we're bringing you some of the newest and most interesting houses to hit the market in Avon-Avon Lake and environs. We are also including any scheduled open houses that may be coming up, so you can check them out in person. Keep scrolling to see what's been listed in your area in the past week, along with any open houses coming up in the days ahead. (Avon-Avon Lake Patch)
2. Would you like to hold onto summer a little longer? A great way for all those backyard gardeners to do that is to save seeds. According to a recent article in Cleveland.com, "for best results, the seeds should be from fruits and vegetables that are open pollinated, also known as “heirloom,” varieties. This means that the plant that grows from the seed will have the same qualities as the plant it came from. Happy seed saving! (cleveland.com)
3. Support the Avon Girls Volleyball Team and go to the games on Saturday. Freshman game will be at 10 a.m. JV will take place at 11 a.m. and Varsity will be held at 12:30 p.m. All three games will be held at Avon High School at 37545 Detroit Road. Tickets can be purchased
