Cedar Lee invites the Heights to “Rock the Block”

Cedar Lee business owners aren’t letting the economy get them down. Instead, they are focusing on summer activities and customer appreciation.

Recognizing that consumers have many options when it comes to shopping, dining or essential services, the Cedar Lee Special Improvement District wants to thank customers for continuing to support local businesses.

Each month, on popular patio locations in the district, free “Rock the Block” events offer hearty appetizers, soft drinks, door prizes and live music courtesy of the SID. The first event occurred on the new patio of the Cedar Lee Pub & Grill, and featured the tropical melodies of the University of Akron Steel Drum Band Trio.

The next appreciation event will take place on July 22 at 6 p.m. at Brennan’s Colony, and features the indie rock sounds of Northeast Ohio favorite, Zach. One of the door prizes includes an overnight stay at the Lodge and Conference Center at Geneva-on-the-Lake.  

The final “Rock the Block” event will be held on Aug. 19 at Anatolia Café from 6–8 p.m., and features the Summit Jazz Duo. In addition, it’s the annual Family Night Out, featuring area favorites—the Euclid Beach Rocket Car and the zany balloon art of Swifty the Clown. There also will be fun activities at the Heights Library, ice cream, games and more.

Watch for further details. The Cedar Lee business owners hope to see everyone on the patio!
