With the sum­mer wind­ing down and school get­ting ready to start a lot of peo­ple are con­tent with what they have done dur­ing their sum­mer. Whether it was vaca­tion­ing or spend­ing time at home relax­ing in the pool most sum­mers are com­ing to an end. There is how­ever some time left before Galion goes back to school and there is still plenty to do. Now that the weather isn’t so hot a good thing to do would bring your fam­ily out to Heise Park. There is plenty to do there, such as play bas­ket­ball or ten­nis. There is also plenty of open grass at the park to play a game of catch or throw a fres­bie around. The park also pro­vides a play­ground with plenty of equip­ment for kids to play on. This includes slides and swings. If you’re just look­ing to relax at the park there is plenty of shade and lots of room for pic­nics. The pool is also still open Mon­day through Fri­day from 1pm to 7:30 pm and on Sat­ur­day and Sun­day from 1p.m. to 5 p.m.

Some­thing else to do is if you’re a foot­ball fan, whether it be Ohio State or Cleve­land Browns, is to check out a game at the Var­sity Grille. Enjoy some good food and drinks while watch­ing your favorite team with other fans. Ohio State returns to the field this year with new head coach Urban Myer. They open their sea­son on Sep­tem­ber 1 against Miami of Ohio. The Cleve­land Browns are play­ing pre­sea­son foot­ball right now. They have two pre­sea­son games left which include a game against the Philadel­phia Eagles on Fri­day August 24 and a game against the Chicago Bears on Thurs­day August 30. The Browns have a new start­ing quar­ter­back by the name of Bran­don Wee­den this year. Galion is also get­ting ready to open their sea­son at home on August 24th against Mans­field Senior. So go out to Heise Park and sup­port the Tigers. Whether you’re a sports fan or a fan of the great out­doors there is still plenty left to do in Galion before sum­mer is up.
