Dear ,

Happy Holidays! The official start of the winter season is on December 21 st when the axis of the Earth is being oriented away from the  Sun. We hope that everyone has a great holiday season. Northeast Ohio has a lot of fun activities around the holidays including sporting events, light shows, and ice skating! The cold can be tough at times, but nothing beats spending the holidays with your loved ones! 

From all of us at Bay Corporation, we hope this winter season brings some warmth, good weather, and plenty of memories.

Whats The Word?
Northeast Ohio Holiday Light Display
One of the many great things about the Holiday Season in Northeast Ohio is the wide range of festive holiday light displays. Whether you’re in Cleveland, Akron, or any of the surrounding cities there’s certainly something to check out to get you and your family into the holiday spirit. One of the biggest draws is the Winterfest downtown lighting display along with the public skating rink at the Cleveland Public Square. Winterfest takes place on November 30 th through February, offering visitors free carriage rides, a tree-lighting ceremony, and even a fireworks show! You can also check out the Cleveland Museum of Art’s annual Winter Lantern Festival, which features “Environment of Lights” displays around Wade Oval, plus lantern displays in the Museum itself starting December 8, 2019. 
Playhouse Square
Another great holiday tradition in Cleveland are the amazing shows at Playhouse Square! Playhouse Square was constructed in the 1920’s, and Cleveland is the largest performing arts city in the United States outside of New York. Some of the amazing shows performing this winter are A Christmas Carol, Mean Girls, The Nutcracker, A Christmas Story, and Every Brilliant Thing. If you get a chance to see a show at the Playhouse Square, you are urged to go. You will not regret it!

Sustainability
Go green for the holidays! There are many tricks to stay sustainable during the holiday season. The first tip is to buy an artificial tree so that you can continue to use it for years to come, and decorate your tree with more efficient LED lights. Plug your decorative indoor/outdoor lights into a timer to save electricity. If you are going shopping, use reusable bags and keep them in your car so they are always available. Along with gifts, you can use creative materials for wrapping such as old maps, newspaper, or brown paper which is fully recyclable and biodegradable! We hope that these tips were helpful and that you have a fun and sustainable holiday season! 
Walktober
For the month of October our employees participated in Walktober! This was a great activity to get our employees away from their desk/work station and take a nice 15-minute walk outdoors. Employees who chose to walk were entered in a giveaway raffle each week for a chance to win a gift card! We want to congratulate our 5 winners this year, David L., Adam, Vicmarie, Megan, and Doug.
Halloween & Thanksgiving
We had a great time celebrating Halloween and Thanksgiving this year. Our employees enjoyed showing their creativity with Halloween costumes and we had a fun time celebrating the holiday at our Halloween Lunch! 
Holiday Season
We have been getting into the holiday spirit this month and really enjoyed decorating our office tree last week! Bay Corporation will be having our annual Holiday Party on the 20 th which is a great time for us to join together with our family and friends and enjoy the holiday season. Stay tuned to hear how the holiday party went.
