18th Annual Pet Carnival was both fun and educational
The City Green recently turned into a doggy haven. On Sunday, July 27, North Royalton Animal Hospital and Paws at Play Resort presented the 18th annual Pet Carnival. All the dogs were on their leashes staying very close to their pet-parent. Some dogs got to ride in baby strollers, but most walked calmly, sniffing and greeting as they were allowed. Some dogs got really comfortable and decided to lay their tummies down on the cool grass under the shade. Gunner did exactly that; right in the middle of the agility course. Bob and Judy Schordock wanted Gunner to leave his spot but the 8-year-old G ....

Come one, come all to the 139th Community Festival
The famous quote, “The only constant in life is change,” has special meaning this year. The 139th Annual Community Festival has changed somewhat this year as it will be held on Saturday, August 23, jam-packing three days of activities into one day of non-stop fun for the whole family. North Royalton Community Festival began some 141 years ago as a Farmers’ Picnic. In all those years, only two years did the event not take place, and that was due to the 2020-21 pandemic. As a farming community in 1884, farmers began chores at 4 a.m., milking and feeding the animals, and their work contin ....
Council reviews remaining Charter Issue for November ballot
In May, the North Royalton City Council called for a review of the remaining proposed Charter Amendment that was submitted by the Charter Review Committee. According to the City’s Charter, a Collaborative Committee could be called in the event of a disagreement between the Charter Review Committee and the majority of Council.

Council does not have authority to defeat the proposal. The date of the Collaborative ....
