Diners will find a touch of TUSCANY in downtown’s new LUCCA

L
ucca, a city in the Tuscany region of Italy, has inspired some fine Italian cuisine right here in our center city! Located in the middle of the country, Lucca is equidistant from the shores of the sprawling Mediterranean Sea
and rolling Italian hillsides. As such, the Lucca of downtown Canton will have the best of both worlds from its Italian namesake – a combination of fresh fish and exquisite meats and game.

Lucca is opening this July at 228 Fourth Street NW, in downtown Canton. Chef Josh Schory’s first solo restaurant venture will serve authentic Italian foods created from the freshest, locally sourced ingredients imaginable. Schory hopes to build his restaurant around gourmet delights of local flavor and the surge of downtown Canton’s “foodie” mentality. “This town has so much potential. More and more people are coming downtown to experience culinary fare and to try new things. I’m always impressed by what people order, their willingness to try something new,” said Schory. “That’s what I hope to bring to the downtown dining landscape – help people embrace their culinary sensibilities.” Schory attended New England Culinary Institute and did an externship with restaurants throughout Vermont. He trained with Charlie Trotters in Chicago, Ill., and worked at a variety of restaurants and country clubs. Most recently, he served as sous-chef at Fedeli. On the launch menu is a full range of appetizers, including calamari with cherry peppers and roasted garlic aioli, specialty bruschetta combinations and mussels served tableside in baby cast-iron skillets. Salads range from an heirloom tomato and house-pulled mozzarella Caprese, and a roasted portabella salad, to a traditional Caesar, with light, flavorful “broken” dressing and anchovies.

As promised, some great minds put their heads together to bring new events to downtown Canton this summer. We are pleased to announce the addition of the Fourth Street Summer Concert and the Cinema in the City Movie Series to our incredible downtown event line up. Coming on July 8, the Anheuser Busch Clydesdales will join us to kick off a night of great music at the new Fourth Street Summer Concert. Music greats Billy Joel and Elton John, or at least their impersonators, will arrive downtown to inspire all the uptown girls and tiny dancers to join us. It will be a great time from 6 to 10:30 p.m. at Fourth Street and Cleveland Ave. NW. The new Cinema in the City Outdoor Movie Series will sizzle each month through September. You’ll read more about it as you venture further into this issue. Bring the family down to enjoy the great outdoors and watch iconic films on the big screen, popcorn in hand! As always, our downtown event schedule is strong, filling summer months and summer streets with incredible flair and festivities. First Friday starts each month off right, and each themed event is a ‘must see’ and ‘must do’ for locals and visitors alike. Keep your eyes peeled for surprises and special treats around every corner for the July and August First Fridays. The smorgasbord of P ro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival events will grace downtown
with A One of a Kind Celebration like no other. A spectacular display of fireworks kicks off the Enshrinement Fe stival on July 28 at Cornerstone Square, with a complete slate of fun family events. Visit ProFootballHOFEF.com for a full schedule of 18 events over nearly two weeks (July 28 through Aug. 9), enjoyed by 700,000 people! The Canton Farmers’ Market is just hitting its stride as we move into the summer bounty of produce. The Market is a gathering of those that want to eat whole and wholesome foods, keep their families healthy, see a plethora of friends, and connect with their community. The lineup is incredible, the vendors friendly and knowledgeable, and the price is right. Live music abounds with the likes of Buzzbin Magazine Art & Music Shop’s summer concert series, hot bands taking the stage at The Auricle, and a burning schedule on the Pete’s Grill & Pizza Patio. Watch for musicians gracing our streets as you venture out to lunch, too. A little spontaneity is good for the soul. Entertainment and events are so important to fruitful economic development of our center city, creating attractions, building buzz and developing community. Join the thriving downtown Canton community this summer. You won’t be disappointed.

Dance Studio ... minute-long private and group lessons in ballroom, Latin ballroom, contemporary ballet, line dancing, hip hop, break dancing and belly dancing and more. Group lessons start at just $10 and private lessons for all styles are $35 ($55 and up for ballroom), with special savings when you purchase multiple classes at once. The studio plans to begin offering memberships to dancers so that they can try new things and pay on a monthly basis. “We love being downtown – it’s busy, thriving. There’s a movement going on, everyone’s trying to grow downtown and we want to help. We have many friends in the arts district and more than anything we wanted to join in on the community here. To get involved and involve others,” said Green. Green and Hughes have partnered with neighboring businesses like La Parrilla Mexican Grill, offering salsa dancing combo packages on the last Saturday of each month. Also in the works is a dance plus fitness package with City Center Fitness, with whom they currently share locker rooms and shower facilities. Other events include teen club dance nights and a dance-a-thon at Arcadia Grille during Christmas in July! The studio hosted a student-based performance of Thriller at the June First Friday, and plans to be involved with the monthly downtown art festival in the future. “We’re always looking for ways to grow, and recently we’ve added more of a health and fitness component to our lineup,” said Green. Classes that fuse fitness with dance include yoga, Pilates, personal training, Latin cardio and the very popular Zumba, which mixes contemporary dance with aerobics. The studio has the only male Zumba instructor in the county, Lou Gillombardo, and it's the perfect entry point for beginners. It helps new and beginner dancers get used to moving their feet while getting a really great workout! The duo opened Andrew Fulmer because, simply put, more dance studios equals more dancing! “We’re keeping the art of dance alive! My goal is to encourage a dance community in Canton,” said Hughes. “We want to get everyone dancing, and you can’t learn this in schools.” To that end, the studio manages dance workshops for Canton City schools and others, exposing stu-
dents of all ages to dance of all varieties. They have also begun a comprehensive kids program at the studio, featuring tap, ballet, jazz, acrobatics and hip hop for ages two to 13. Not sure you’re ready to put on your dancing shoes just yet? There are free and discounted dance lesson opportunities around every corner, including free monthly open houses, FREE lessons on First Fridays, and $10 (private) lessons on “first Saturdays.” Discounts are available to college and high school students, and those interested in a more serious dance regimen may be eligible for tuition assistance and scholarships. With the overnight success of shows like “So You Think You Can Dance” and “Dancing with the Stars,” Andrew Fulmer has seen not only a surge in dance lessons, but in competitions. The studio boasts two performance groups: Canton City Crew, a competition-based hip-hop dance group (much like the widely popular “America’s Best Dance Crew”) and Canton City Dance Company, a contemporary ballet performance group. Members of both groups serve as instructors at the studio. Both Hughes and Green have been dancing for about six years, training at A Time to Dance in North Canton, and Fred Astaire Dance Studios in Canton, respectively. They met through dance in high school and later reconnected at a ballroom dancing benefit hosted by Living Fountain Dance Company. Both are world-class dancers in their own rights. Green is a state champion ballroom dancer who has trained with some of the top instru c to rs in the nation. While he is now a compet i t i ve - l evel ballroom dancer, Hughes’ background is firmly rooted in break dancing and hip-hop and he has worked as a freelance choreographer. Visit the studio’s website at AndrewFulmer.com for a full schedule of dance classes and to reserve your spot online! 300 Tuscarawas St. W in downtown Canton Mon. through Fri.: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday by appointment (330) 353-8882 | AndrewFulmer.com

The strings of lights will be very dramatic – 240 string light bulbs lighting up the night! “This is exciting for downtown Canton in that it will create a unique outdoor atmosphere for many new events to be put on by local groups. We’ve discussed a range from block parties, art festivals, corn hole tournaments and martini nights under the lights, to concerts for as many as a thousand attendees” said King.

Arts Campaign reaches goal for sixth consecutive year $1.56 million raised in 2011 ... $101,000 more than last year! A joyous victory party took place at The New Peter Shears Downtown restaurant in downtown Canton in May to celebrate the 2,800 generous donors who “pARTicipated” in bringing ArtsinStark’s annual arts campaign to the goal mark. The 2011 Annual Arts Campaign raised a total of $1,556,000 – the highest amount in ArtsinStark’s 40-year history. Campaign chair Karen Belden announced that the campaign had made goal for the sixth year in a row and raised $101,000 more than 2010. “This campaign was a fight to the finish,” said Belden, “It reminded me of just how generous the people of Stark County can be.” To celebrate, campaign chair Karen Belden led volunteers in a friendly “ poetry slam” competition accompanied by the playful percussion of Elec Simon, just back from his tour with the Broadway show STOMP. “People are investing in us because they see the impact the arts have on economic development,” says ArtsinStark board vice chair Mark Wright. “Given the amazing success of the last six years, we think that one day we can be raising $2 million annually for the arts here.” The majority of the monies raised, 74% or $1.2 million, will go back out into the Stark County community by way of ArtinStark grants next year. The first $1 million in grants goes to the seven largest arts groups: the Canton Ballet, Canton Museum of Art, Canton Palace Theatre, Canton Symphony, Massillon Museum, Players Guild Theater and Voices of Canton. The next $200,000 is awarded in smaller grants to 100 Stark County schools, non profits, and artists. The remaining dollars go toward putting more live music, public art, and artist studios in the downtown center cities around Stark County; running the 330,000 square foot Cultural Center for the Arts; and the completion of the new 20/20 Vision ten-year plan for arts and economic development. Karen Belden, Campaign Chair
LUCCA ...
(continued from cover)
A margherita pizza will be an ongoing menu staple, but specialty thin crust pizzas will abound as well for lunch and dinner. For now, the pizzas will be cooked on a piastra cooking stone with applewood chips to add a smoky flavor, and Schory hopes to put a true wood-fired oven into the kitchen next year. Lucca’s wide variety of pasta entrees will include the house-made gnocchi in marinara sauce (Schory’s own recipe), linguini with fresh littleneck clams, buccatini and meatballs, and pasta pomodoro with fresh tomatoes and olive oil. The pasta will be fresh made in Ohio City, but after a successful launch, Schory will try his hand at pasta making himself. He’ll round out the dinner menu with herb-crusted rack of lamb, accompanied by pan-fried gnocchi, and a filet with fresh horseradish and pine nut gremolata. At lunchtime, Lucca’s signature salads will be offered as wraps with steak and chicken, and served with fresh-cut fries, white bean salad or fruit. A homemade meatball sub, “Tuscan” burger and grilled vegetable wrap are also available at lunchtime. How fresh is fresh? Lucca will have a simple but delectable menu of Italian classics, but it’s the daily specials that will bring customers back for more. “I’m going to use as many local, fresh products as I can get my hands on. I want to show people authenticity in Italian cooking, and authentic Italian means using the freshest, never frozen, produce, fish and game,” said Schory. And he’s looking to bring game galore to the menu, including elk, venison, boar and squab, for starters. Other specials will include a daily array of flat breads, antipasto selections, risotto and ravioli.
Lucca is opening at the location previously occupied by Iris Restaurant, and for fans of Iris, there will be many familiar faces (and some new ones!) among Lucca’s seasoned service staff and his classically-trained culinary staff. While keeping the open, comfortable ambiance of the space, he’s adding dramatic touches to make the atmosphere his own: new, wide-plank hardwood floors, warm hued walls with a subtle stucco pattern, a new server station to increase serving efficiency and flow, and some special occasion seating in the downstairs wine-room. The bar will have a full lineup of cocktails and libations, Peroni Italian beer on tap, and a wide range of both budget-friendly and connoisseur-quality wines. Lucca will be open for lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily, and from 5 to 10 p.m. for dinner (with possible extended kitchen hours for special events). The bar will be open until 2 a.m. nightly. Between 2 and 5 p.m. he’ll offer an abbreviated bar menu including appetizers, flatbreads and pizzas.

On Dasher! On Dancer! But wait, it’s only July!? For twelve years, Arcadia Grille owner Maria Byington has been bringing ‘holiday’ cheer to downtown for the entire month of July. Without the wish for a white Christmas, the sentiment arrives at Arcadia Grille for ‘Christmas in July’ to support and raise awareness for a variety of local nonprofits. Each day in July, a different nonprofit organization receives a percentage of total sales for the evening, guest bartends, and auctions items to support their causes. Participating organizations include The Canton Palace Theatre on the July 28, Ex News Boys on July 5, and Project Rebuild on July 6, among 27 other very worthy organizations. Christmas in July is from 5 to 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and 2 to 5 p.m. on Sundays. Arcadia Grille is closed on July 4, to celebrate one of our Nation’s more traditional summer holidays. A complete list of participating organizations and calendar is available on their website, www.ArcadiaGrille.biz. Arcadia Grille is located at 321 Court Ave. NW in downtown Canton.
Community garden takes root The Downtown Canton/Summit Community Garden, located at the intersection of Fifth Street and High Street NW, is filled with gardeners of all ages and gardening ability, creating a spot of green for all to enjoy. Everything grows in the Community Garden, from tomatoes and squash, to beautiful flowering annuals and perennials. NEW! this year: we partnered with Project Rebuild to build 30 raised beds and personal gardens will fill the space! These raised beds will provide even greater access to those who want to dig in!
