About Lake County, OH

Welcome to Kirtland, Ohio for the Fall Harvest Festival and Antique Tractor Show!

On September 26 and 27- Lake Metroparks Farmpark will host the event from 9 AM until 5 PM. Exhibits will start with horse power and will go modern day all the way to high tech tractors.

Not into tractors? Thats ok--there will be other activities too. Like apple butter and cider making and you'll be able to taste too! You can stir the apple butter or press the apples to make cider. And you can learn the different varieties of apples and exactly what they are best used for, from eating apples or cooking apples.

How about some "chuck wagon" food? Stop by and watch the chuck wagon cooking demonstration and or course try the food. There will be veggie soup for eveyone to try. This soup is vegetable--no meat and will be cooked over an open fire. .

One Dollar Hat will perform string band music for your enjoyment too. ANd there will be various tractors of different vintages for viewing.

Feeling creative? How about trying your hand at veggie art? Maybe you'd like to try the Corn Maze? Just don't get lost in the 3 acre maze! You'll need to know something about movies with corn in them as you'll need to know the answers to questions in order to navigate through the maze.

Check out the craft shows there too. And have fun on the Pony Rides too. Lake Metroparks Farmpark will also offer all its usual activities as well. What a great family fun day!

You'll be building equity in your new home and taking advantage of tax benefits.

You can purchase a home at a time when interest rates are most advantageous to your financial needs.

You can buy now while homes are widely available in all price ranges.

So for all of you who think nothing is happening in real estate, look at just the activity in a few cities, in one week that included a holiday! Investors are seeeing the value in a real estate investment. Home buyers are getting great interest rates as well as many homes to choose from, and prices lower than they have been in many years. Win Win Win....it's all perception. By the time everyone else figures it out, the prices will be going up. The TAX benefits of owning a home far outweigh what you will lose by renting and waiting around for perfect timing!

203k Streamline loans are available for homes that need repairs and updates. If you have the stomach, creativity, and eye for renovating, you can transform a dump into an upscale dream home, and still stay under budget.

Think we are joking? We help owners do this every day. Save money and live smart and within your means.... Email us for video before and afters.

HUD lists available! Bank owned homes available! Foreclosure homes available.
