the Canton Italian Festival will be going on July 11, 12 &13. The Santo Stefano
Our Festa Italiana gets started on July 17 @ 10 am at our clubhouse when we will cut the
peppers and onions. Later that same evening the set-up crew will meet at the clubhouse
around 5:15 pm to load up the trailer with everything that will be needed to go to the
downtown Cuyahoga Falls area to be erected. We still need more volunteers to help prep, set-
up, cook, & serve on all shifts. Please sign up at our next club meeting on July 8, 2025. Sign-up
sheets will be on the table by the front door. Also, at the end of the Festa on Sunday night @ 8
pm we will need a tear down crew to dismantle everything, load the trailer and put everything
back in the clubhouse garage. There will be an appreciation dinner at our clubhouse on
Sunday July, 27, 2025 @ 4 pm. This is for all the members and non-members who volunteered
to help tear down and remodel our clubhouse. The dinner is being cooked by Tony Ricci who is
doing this in appreciation and honor for all those volunteers who made the effort to help out
on this project Millie Grazie from Tony!
