No need to fly the flying saucer over to Cleveland Metroparks
"Summer Beach Party" - just come to the beach for all the
fun and excitement.
Cleveland Metroparks invites all "beach bums" to enjoy
the free "Summer Beach Party" event on Saturday, August 7
from 5 to 11 p.m. at Huntington Beach in Huntington Reservation in
Bay Village.
Beach-goers from 5 to 8 p.m. can enjoy a variety of beach games and
activities including: a UFO sighting scavenger hunt, shake-n-bake
contest, flying saucer water balloon toss, Reese's Pieces relay
race, hula hoop contest, beach blanket bingo, limbo,
"Ranger" says, cornhole, beach volleyball, and
more.
Day-of registration is required to participate in all games, and
space is limited. Prizes will be awarded.
Activities from 5 to 8 p.m. also include: national award-winning
sand sculptor Carl Jara designing a special sand sculpture
especially for the "Summer Beach Party" event, a sand
castle-building area for visitors to try their hand, Island Jeff's
Steel Drum Show, a fishing demonstration area with Cleveland
Metroparks staff, a kayak demonstration area with 41� North Coastal
Kayak Adventures, live animals from Lake Erie Nature & Science
Center, a dive team exhibit with Cleveland Metroparks Rangers, and

As darkness approaches, warm up at the campfire and enjoy the
ever-entertaining Musical Mark at 8 p.m.
And then, be sure to bring beach blankets and beach chairs for the
movie on the beach - "E.T." at 8:45 p.m.
The 1982 movie classic "E.T." - a group of aliens visit
Earth and one of them is accidentally left behind, and is found by
a 10-year-old boy, Elliot. Soon the two begin to communicate,
and start a different kind of friendship in which E.T. learns about
some new values of the true meaning of friendship.
Huntington Beach is located off Lake Road in Huntington
Reservation, between Crocker-Bassett and Columbia roads in Bay
Village - north of the I-90/Columbia Road
exit.

Enjoy an evening of fun on the sand at the "Summer Beach
Party" of Cleveland Metroparks - part of your life,
naturally.
