The Most Beautiful Lakes In Ohio 💦🛶

Sponsored by Decorative Arts Center of Ohio which is proud to present a Virtual Tour of Tell Me a Story Where the Bad Girl Wins: The Life & Art of Barbara Shermund. Starting in 1925, Shermund contributed nine covers and hundreds of cartoons to the New Yorker, and later became a celebrated mainstay at Esquire. Her cartoons had a fierce and feminist electricity rarely seen in that era of male-dominated cartooning. Learn more and take the tour right here! 💥💥

Happy Monday. Chelsea here.

I don't know who we have to talk to in order to keep having this incredible weather, but I'm willing to write a letter or something. Seriously, I hope you all had the best weekend possible and that you got a chance to get outside and take advantage of the blue skies and gentle breeze. We're jumping into this week with a little daydreaming about waterfront getaways. Family vacations may look different this year due to COVID-19, but it's a great time to check out some of Ohio's most beautiful lakes. From quiet fishing spots to weekends on the boat, here are some lakes around the state that you should definitely check out this summer.
