The third weekend in June is packed with activities for anyone visiting Northern Ohio. Since Father’s Day occurs during the weekend, how about treating your hubby or dad to a fun weekend away? Some of them are close to Angel Welcome Bed and Breakfast, and some are far, but all are accessible for a fun day trip with the inn as your home base. Here are a few of these fun events, along with their general distance from the inn.
First, starting June 17th through June 21st, is the 42nd annual St. Nicholas Festival in Struthers, Ohio, about a 2 hour drive from Milan. The festival is held from 6:00-10:00pm Wednesday; 6:00-11:00pm Thursday & Sunda, and 6:00pm-midnight Friday and Saturday. There will be drawings, music, and gambling. Tickets are $2 for adults.
