Put the pedal to the metal when you burn rubber on the giant oval driving course at Airport Go-Karts. This is the largest and fasted go-kart speedway in Ohio and the folks at Airport Go-Karts have been keeping that tradition alive for 35 years. They offer two classes of karts that include Rookie Karts for kids and smaller drivers and Pro Karts for kids 16 years of age and older and for drivers with significantly more experience behind the wheel. The park is open seasonally, so make sure to check the website before your rev it up and go!

For a classic evening of unforgettable music, plan to take in a performance of the Cleveland Orchestra. The city's symphony brings the works of such composers as Mozart, Beethoven, Strauss and Brahms to life in their many performances. In addition to an already busy year-round entertainment schedule, the orchestra offers special seasonal concerts to lift your spirits in a most melodic way.

County fairs always seem to bring out the best in people. That tradition still holds true at the Cuyahoga County Fair held every August. The fact that the fair has been held every year for the past 115 years speaks volumes about its tradition and popularity. Check out the farm animals in competition but don't forget to treat yourself to the fried cheese and other tasty snacks. More than twenty midway rides, 100 food vendors, country music and a demolition derby all make this a must-attend festival!

Don't let the exterior of Cleveland's Duck Island intimidate you. Sure, the building may seem a bit grandiose and intimidating from the outside, but once you find your way in and get comfortable, you'll find that the nightlife venue seems to hark back to a classier era when the simple things like sitting close to your partner, having a quiet conversation and enjoying a well-made cocktail were things that were all worth celebrating. Happily, at Duck Island, they still are.
