Wood Stripping & Refinishing

There's nothing quite like the feeling of lighting out on your own boat to fish, get close to nature, and plot your own course at your own pace. Of course, the starting point for such recreation adventures are marinas, and you will find that the Pier 75 Dry Rack Marina offers plenty of excellent amenities that you will need before and after your trip. These include pontoon boats, boat sales, a store that sells fishing licenses, tent sites and more.

The Toledo Botanical Garden is a benchmark against which similar gardens are measured throughout the country, and with good reason. This is considered to be one of the pioneering gardens because of its dramatically beautiful visual and natural presentation. Fragrant meadows of sunflowers and wildflowers, rose gardens, herb gardens and sharply manicured walkways make spending time here something special for the entire family. Also, the kids will especially love visiting the recreated pioneer garden which many consider to be one of the site's main attractions.

If it's loud and fast and makes you want to pump your fist in the air, then you're probably experiencing one of the highly electrified hard rock bands that frequently take the stage at Innovation Concerts. This extremely popular live music venue hosts a steady schedule of some of the loudest, most insanely out of control metal bands from around the world. There's always a show on the schedule, and the entertainment venue does an excellent job of updating its website with information on the latest additions to the performance schedule. So make it out to Innovation Concerts and rock on, dude!

There's fresh, and then there's farm fresh, and that is most definitely what you will find when you shop at the Toledo Farmer's Market. This group of vendors is well worth finding, as they are located within the same area as the Erie Street Market which is indoors, but there are various vendors who set up tents in and around the area. You will find an unmatched selection of homegrown produce and herbs as well as baked goods, handmade crafts, plants and fresh cut flowers.
