Oct. 9: BeerFest benefits Firestone Dog Park

The Village of Columbiana and The Restoration and Beautification Committee of Columbiana’s Firestone Dog Park Committee are sponsoring the “Columbiana Craft BeerFest 2021: Ales for Tails” 4-8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 9 at Town Center in Firestone Farms.

Town Centercomplex is located at 101 Town Center Ave., Columbiana 44408.

The event features samples from at least 10 area breweries, live music and local food trucks.

“While we plan to host Columbiana Craft BeerFest annually with proceeds supporting R&B’s work throughout Firestone Park, as dog lovers it seemed only fitting that the 2021 event be ‘Ales for Tails’ to help build Firestone Dog Park and make sure all our pups have a safe place to run, jump and play,” said event chair Sean Zentner.

The Firestone Dog Park is part of ongoing efforts by the R&B Committee of Columbiana to enhance the outdoors for Columbiana residents and visitors.

Named after entrepreneur and Columbiana-native Harvey S. Firestone, the community dog park will include: a 1-acre fenced area strategically located near the existing Walking Trail in historic Harvey S. Firestone Recreational Park; a natural setting with shade trees and space to allow dogs to run free; double gates (for safety); separate runs for small and large dogs; and water stations, park benches and dog depots/waste stations.
