New Ways to Enjoy the Edge of Spring

Spring officially begins in Toledo on Sunday, March 20 at approximately 6:29am. Embrace the warm weather by going outside and enjoying the new season. 

A tasty adventure 

Embark on a weekend road trip with the Ohio Maple Madness Driving Tour and get a taste of the sweet maple syrup that flows when springtime begins. Explore 45 destinations spanning 22 Ohio counties. Event Coordinator, Eugene Robinson, invites you to enjoy hayrides, pancakes with fresh maple syrup and other sweet treats, as well as demonstrations of maple tapping techniques. There will also be guided tours at various farms, parks and production facilities.

Saturdays & Sundays through March.

Spring dreams

Springtime is the best time to attend a Maumee Valley Adventurer Travel Circle Presentation. First, stretch your legs with a group hike/walk to take in the first telltale signs of spring. Then, settle inside and prepare to be transported, as world travelers share photos and tell of their adventures in beautiful destinations.

Saturday, March 12: Hiking and Biking New Zealand with Larry Lindsay.

1-3:30pm. Oak Openings Preserve’s Lodge, 5402 Wilkins Rd., Whitehouse.

Spruce up

Now that spring cleaning is underway, head over to the Maumee Antique Mall to find some new colorful things. With over 300 booths spread over two acres of indoor space, visiting is a great way to spend a few hours marveling at the gently used vintage wares and the delightfully kitschy jewelry, artwork, furniture, clothing, toys and more. The mall is clean and bright and easy to navigate with wide aisles. It is best to take cash, as credit card purchases have a surcharge.

10am-8pm Monday-Saturday, 11am-6pm Sunday.
