What Are You Thankful For This Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving is almost here. Tell us what you’re thankful for in the comments.

Sure, there’s the turkey and pumpkin pie. And there’s football for sports fans and parades for the kids and early morning shopping for the deal-seekers. But Thanksgiving is also a day about reflection. It’s a day to stop and think about all the good in our lives. So we want to know: when all is said and done, what are you giving thanks for this year? It can be silly or sweet, simple or profound. We just want to hear it. Here are a few responses from Patch readers in the region. Check them out, and then tell us what you’re grateful for in the comments. Dawn Blythe of Jackson Township said: “I'm thankful for a husband who provides so I can be a stay at home mom!

Bow Wow Beach Open Early on Thanksgiving Day

The dog park is usually closed until 11 a.m. for maintenance on Thursdays, but not this week.

Whether you need your kids, spouse or dog out of the house while you're preparing for Thanksgiving dinner (and you don't want the dog to snatch up the Turkey like in A Christmas Story) you can send the whole family to Bow Wow Beach bright and early Thursday. The dog park is usually closed until 11 a.m Thursday. But for the holiday, the beach will be open at 8 a.m. Send the family out to work up an appetite before feasting! Editor's note: For fun, we uploaded the video clip of the dogs taking the turkey in A Christmas Story. Enjoy! Anyone ever have that happen in real life?

I told my fiance this morning before I knew the park was open early that it would be helpful if he took our pup to the park before the holiday was underway! Good to see it will be open early. Anyone planning to go tomorrow? Say hi to my dog Lola if you see her. (oh, you can say hi to Andy, the fiance too) haha   more ›

Everyone deserves a full table of food on Thanksgiving, and that's why the Stow-Munroe Falls Lion Club is donating food and gift cards to 22 families within the Stow-Munroe Falls School District.  "This is the third year that our club members have chosen such a service project to help families in need within the two communities," said Marty Dennis, chairperson of the project.  Each school will be provided two non-perishable food baskets along with a $25 Acme gift card for confidentially selected families (by the school's staff) to buy their meat and other food items for the holiday.   Councilman John Pribonic, Stow's Acme Manager, helped the club purchase the food and gift cards and the store donated the basket preparation and wrapping, …
