Join in the fun on Monday, May 22nd as we make our way around Cleveland and visit 3 Ethnic Markets. This is a trip to remember a cold bag for meats and cheese you might purchase.

We will then reboard the coach and go to R&D Sausage Co – a very old, established market in the N Collinwood area. This market is known for its smoked Croatian and Slovenia sausage.
