2020 Calendar of Events
By Catharine Hadley, Arts and Entertainment Editor, catharinehadley@gmail.com
The theme of this column is "trying new things." I'm happy to be starting this new project of writing the entertainment column for Leisure Living Magazine! I've done all I could to make the entertainment listing complete and varied, so there should be something for everyone. Although I've done my best to make sure all the information is accurate, please go online or call ahead to confirm your plans.
Any suggestions and details of your upcoming events can be sent to me at catharinehadley@gmail.com.

Welcome 2020 In Style!
I admit that the beginning part of the each new year, when the holidays are over and the weather is not my favorite, I have some challenges getting excited about things to do. I might not have that problem in early 2020, thanks to all these local events. The community theaters in Port Clinton, Bellevue, and Fremont are presenting plays after the first of the year, and the Firelands Symphony Orchestra will perform operatic music - including "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen! The website shows that they will, they will, rock us.
The group organizing these events - and others throughout 2020 - have a website or Facebook page that you can check for details.
