1. NATURALIZATION CEREMONY AT JAMES A. GARFIELD NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE
Where/When: James A. Garfield National Historic Site, 10 a.m. Friday
Why Go: Each year, the Mentor home of President James A. Garfield hosts a ceremony in which immigrants from around the world become U.S. citizens.
The event is a wonderful example of our country's melting pot ethos. (You can watch videos of previous ceremonies here.)
It's also free and open to the public.
Pricing: Free
Where/When: Civic Center Park, 5 p.m. Friday
Why Go: This event for the whole family includes swimming with oodles noodles, hunting for coins in the pool, decorating the baby pool area with chalk, searching for treasure in the sand volleyball court and splash contests off the diving board.
Pricing: Free with daily admission or pool pass admittance
3. GARFIELD HISTORIC SITE 'BEHIND THE SCENES' TOUR
