James A. Garfield Statue Unveiling & Community Picnic

Mentor is unveiling a statue honoring James A. Garfield and celebrating with a community picnic. This is a great opportunity to learn about local history while enjoying an evening with your family at the Municipal Center. The event runs from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., giving you a relaxed window to stop by with the kids. Come for the statue dedication ceremony and stay to share a picnic with neighbors. It's a low-key way to be part of a community tradition, especially fitting since it falls on Independence Day weekend. Bring your appetite and an appreciation for Mentor's heritage—this is the kind of gathering that brings families together without a lot of fuss.
