Hey there! 

So over the weekend I was able to attend ‘An Ode to Hessler’ at The Grog Shop with a friend of mine. We had no idea what we were in for. 

Upon arrival we are told the vendors are downstairs along with the food. It was so great to see a few local artists and businesses there for support. You already know the first thing I did was buy a t-shirt. 

The food was great, the atmosphere was pretty chill. 

Upstairs the music had started up, jam bands and great energy all around. I kept hearing “can I get a pic for the Hessler FB group?” 

Thankfully, my friend knew what Hessler Road was and explained. It’s a road in Cleveland where the history is deep and the community runs deeper. 

There is so much backstory for this community that I don’t even know where to begin. So here is a link to the Cleveland Historical article I found! After reading up on this it’s safe to say I want to attend the next Hessler Street Fair if we are so lucky to have another. 

Overall the night was fantastic, I loved being surrounded by strangers who easily could have become friends, great music, free flow vibes and the light that comes with knowing we are all brothers and sisters trying for our best lives. 

You already know… take care of yourself!
Love, Carrie Danger
