TOURISM & LOCAL ACTIVITIES:
As many of you may recall from the advertisement in Madison, there is MUCH to do for enjoyment in the greater Northeastern Ohio area. Along with being the birthplace of the world’s rubber industry, Akron is still the world headquarters for the largest of the companies today, Goodyear, and its recognizable fleet of blimps. You will find many attractions in the surrounding area to occupy your time on the Wednesday “free-day,” or you may want to come a day early or stay a day longer to experience the area. (We have negotiated this pricing option with the Sheraton if you desire an extension to your stay.)

Some sight-seeing ideas include:

  • Quaker Square
  • The National Inventors Hall of Fame
  • The newly renovated Akron Art Museum
  • Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens
  • Don Drumm Studios & Gallery
  • Akron Zoological Park
  • Canal Stadium & the Akron Aeros
  • Viking Vineyards
  • The Winery at Wolf Creek
  • Hale Farm & Village
  • Cuyahoga Valley National Park
  • Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad
  • Hower House
  • The Pro Football Hall of Fame
  • Amish Country
  • Swiss Village
  • The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
  • The Cleveland Indians & Jacob’s Field
  • Geauga Lake & Wildwater Kingdom
  • Cedar Point
  • The Lake Erie Islands

    … and the list goes on! Come see for yourself why the 2006 BDAA Convention is being held in an area known as “The Heart of it All!”
