Barberton, OH

Children of all ages delight in the holiday lights that surround Lake Anna in Barberton

Ohio during the Christmas season. Barberton uses Lake Anna for a backdrop for many

of its city's events throughtout the year.

The poinsettias are my personal favorite of the holiday lights at Lake Anna!

The snowman is all his winter glory!

The nativity scene at Lake Anna in Barberton, Ohio is a beautiful sight!

The sled riding scene shows the other lights across the lake, so that you can get an idea

of the size of Lake Anna, the jewel and centerpiece of Barberton, Ohio.

The gazebo in its holiday lights is the center for entertainment in the summer months at

Lake Anna in Barberton, Ohio. If you live near to Barberton or are visiting the area be sure

to ride around the lake for the holiday lights!

Veronica Krug and the Back Alley Gatorz played at the Suburb Inn in

Halloween and they will have a costume contest with prizes! It will

Debbie Ring, Pam Keenan and Andrea Hyatt wore colonial dresses and big hats made out of recycled plastic bags to the AABOR Trade Expo at Guy's Party Center in Akron, Ohio on Friday, October 2, 2009!

They won first place in a poll of the attendees at the Expo! They were so adorable! They are really good title representatives from Lawyers Title in Akron, Ohio! Congratulation Debbie, Pam and Andrea!

A fun time was in the making and the Akron Area Board of Realtors came through again with a great meal and 5 hours of very up to the minute continuing education about Social Networking and Blogging by Brad Hanks! Our board really delivers! Thank you AABOR!
