The Yard at StoneWater’s, charming and nostalgic holiday weekend festivities run from 5:00 to 11:00 pm on Saturday, July 1. Lost Bob and the Ozone Ramblers, a popular local bluegrass band, will provide entertainment from 7-11pm and The Rustic Grill will host a food stand showcasing a twist on all-American classics.

“Celebrating Independence Day at The Yard is like having a party in your own backyard,” said Whitney Neidus, general manager. “We wanted to really capture the spirit of the holiday and host a night where friends, families, kids and neighbors can come together and celebrate the joy and simplicity of old-fashioned Americana Fun.”

The Yard will offer a flurry of fun for all ages. Highlights include our inaugural Kids Pie Eating Contest, where kids can choose from a mini chocolate or vanilla pudding pie. This friendly and thrilling competition begins at 6:00pm. It is free to participate.

Plus, bring your furry friends along to take part in our Patriotic Dog Costume Contest. Dogs decked out in patriotic garb will parade around The Yard at 6:45pm and compete for Most Patriotic Costume, as voted by the crowd. Prizes will be awarded for the pie and pooch competitions.

Bring your dog or bring one home with you! The Northeast Ohio SPCA, a no kill pet shelter will be on hand with rescue puppies and dogs from 6:00-8:00pm, who are available for adoption. For every cocktail purchased, $1 will be donated to their organization.

About The Yard

Situated in the “backyard” of the Rustic Grill near the 10th tee on the StoneWater Golf Course, this hideaway has been aptly named “The Yard.” A gathering place for friends and neighbors alike, the charming outdoor bar – surrounded by trees and teeming with greenery – takes on a twinkly magical quality in the evening. Summer cocktails, live music and ample space for kids separate this patio from the rest. It’s like a friend's backyard – no need to call ahead, just stop by for a quick hello or to linger for a while. Kids can run around while parents hang out with friends, and dogs are always welcome. Check the calendar for the summer lineup.
