Good morning, Medina.

The Medina County Park District will host free indoor and outdoor events in December that include guided hikes, wildlife talks, creative writing classes for homeschoolers, and holiday festivities at locations like the Susan Hambley and Oenslager Nature Centers.

Residents can join these activities and register for programs where needed to enjoy nature and stay active as winter arrives.

Four Medina County District Library branches will hold winter book sales to raise funds for library programs for kids and adults.

The events will take place at Medina, Brunswick, Highland, and Lodi locations—offering bag sales and membership opportunities.

The Medina Library has opened a free art show titled 'Interpretations' by plein air painters that displays finished paintings and the photos that inspired them (held at B.

Smith Gallery, 210 S. Broadway St. until Dec. 7).

Twenty high school teams remain in the Ohio football playoffs as regional finals on Friday at 7 p.m. will feature 12 matchups with at least one Northeast Ohio team—eight of which pit local schools against each other at neutral sites.
