Kirtland Country Club occupies the former Leo Doro Farms, the estate of Mrs. Henry A. Everett, whose 1910 stone mansion serves today as the Club's Tudor-style Clubhouse. Stockholders purchased the property in 1920, and the Club formally opened on July 9, 1921. A fire destroyed the original Clubhouse in 1975; it was rebuilt and reopened the following year, then renovated again in 2008 to add the Club Room and restore the West Porch's fireplace and French doors. A private, member-owned club in Willoughby, Ohio, Kirtland hosts wedding ceremonies and receptions either inside the Clubhouse or on the lawn overlooking its formal gardens. The Clubhouse accommodates up to 250 guests, and the lawn up to 500. The Club's Catering & Events Manager oversees menu selection, vendor coordination, and reception timelines, and the Club also welcomes couples' own independent wedding planners.

The Cuyahoga County Fair

- 1 Outdoor

The Cuyahoga County Fair has gathered Greater Clevelanders in Berea, Ohio since 1893, when it began as the West Cuyahoga County Fair. The fair has been held nearly every year since, pausing only during the depths of the Depression and World War II, and has grown from an original 60 acres to the 117-acre fairgrounds it occupies today. An early advertising promise to "bring together the best of everything" still shapes the event, which blends its agricultural roots with modern midway entertainment, live music, fireworks, and grandstand shows. Beyond fair week, the grounds function as a year-round venue for private and community events. With 50,000 square feet of indoor exhibit space spread across buildings like the Olde Barn Pavilion, the Multi-Purpose Building, and the Museum Building, plus outdoor areas such as the North and South Quadrangles and a Gazebo, the fairgrounds can accommodate gatherings ranging from small family occasions to large-scale events. Parking for up to 7,500 vehicles and a location within a mile of Interstate 71 make the site easy to reach for guests coming from across Northeast Ohio.
