The Chardon Heritage Committee is excited to announce our first Heritage House fundraising event. This Chinese Auction will occur, in conjunction with Chardon’s Old Glory Days, Friday July 3, 2009 through Saturday July 4, 2009. It will be held at the current log cabin on our historic square. You are invited to participate in a unique Chardon themed-display/basket Chinese Auction. This event is designed to highlight all local entrepreneurial interests as an annual attraction to Old Glory Days. It is your opportunity to creatively design a display basket about your business or make your own creation. Some suggestions would be a salon pampering basket, a professional services basket or an Italian cooking/spices basket. This event will be a fun addition to the already scheduled holiday weekend activities of music, bike decorating, parade, ice cream and children’s games. Tickets will be available at the door for $1.00/each or 6/$5.00. Basket displays can be delivered and set-up at the log cabin Thursday July 2, between 7-9:00pm. The log cabin will be open on 7/3/09 for tickets and basket display viewing 11:00am – 3:00pm and 6 – 9:00pm, during the band concert. Tickets and viewing will also be available 11:00am – 5:00pm., on 7/4/09. The drawing will immediately follow the 7/4/09 band concert. Winners need not be present. All proceeds will benefit the future Heritage House. We are asking you to support this auction event in one or more of the following ways: |

Chardon City Council approved the Heritage House project, and granted permission to the Chardon Heritage Committee to start their fund raising efforts. The design (and other aspects) may be refined as additional feedback is gathered, but the primary style, purpose and footprint have been approved. We will continue to bring feedback and refinements back to City Council for their approval.
Over 25% of the project is currently funded. One of the highest priorities for the Chardon Heritage Committee will be to continue their pursuit for foundation grants. Other marketing efforts will also be launched in the near future.
We will continue to seek community feedback on the project. Please continue to provide your input. |

The Chardon Heritage Committee held a public forum, on November 7th, to review a new beginning in cultural activity on historic Chardon Square. The focus was increased cultural activity on the square and the related impact. The forum was held at the Geauga Theater. We reviewed photoramas of both the Heritage House and the Performing Arts Center and participated in a discussion of the cultural impact of the future facilities. Photos of the Heritage House were superimposed onto photos of the Chardon Square park, so that everyone could visualize how the facility will look in the park.
The Performing Arts Center will be an educational facility, used to teach various skills of the arts. The Geauga Lyric Theater Guild expects to use the Heritage House as a "small performance venue", providing the community with: |
