Scott and I have always enjoyed seeing all our Shores friends again at the RomeRock Summer Concert Series.  We both look forward coming to the beach from our family home here at the Shores to bring our music to you at the Kathy Crandall Pavilion.  Waiting For Ray (W4R) band performed at the Shores the last two years and are happy to do it again this year on August 17th.  What could possibly be better than some good ol’ fashion rock & roll under the stars?!  Absolutely nothing! Please join us again for RomeRock Association’s Summer Concert Series at the Clubhouse at 6:00PM. 

W4R features music from the 90’s and will surely include some of your favorites.  W4R’s party atmosphere and entertaining stage presence will get you dancing, singing or at least tapping your foot.  Members and their families & guests are welcome to bring chairs and coolers to the beach area or, unique only to the Shores, anchor your boat at center stage for the very best view.  You can learn more about W4R on their website at www.waitingforray.com.  See you there!

County Tire Amnesty Day 2024

The Ashtabula County Solid Waste District will be hosting a Tire Amnesty Day on May 11, 2024, from 9am to 1pm at the Ashtabula County Fairgrounds (127 N Elm St, Jefferson, OH 44047). Ashtabula County residents can drop off up to 4 tires for free per vehicle. There is a $1 per tire charge after the first 4, and a maximum of 10 tires. Tires over 22” rim size and rims are not permitted. More information is available at https://www.ashtabulacounty.us/741/Tire-Amnesty-Day.

Ready or not, the snow is coming, but before it does, we’d like to take this opportunity to remind residents of our snow rules.

At this time, residents should make sure their mail boxes and posts are secure enough to withstand our winter snow plowing operations. Wood posts and mounts can rot over time. You may also want to consider installing a snow shield in front of (not attached to) your mail box to help deflect the snow from the snow plows. Our drivers try not to hit mailboxes, but they do occasionally get knocked down due to heavy, wet snow. Our policy is to only repair the boxes we strike.

The Association would like to remind residents that parking on the roads/and or berms on association-owned roadways is prohibited when the snow depth exceeds 2″ (two inches). This is necessary in order to facilitate the plowing and/or removal of the snow. Please help our plow drivers by removing your vehicles and all obstructions from the roadways.

Additionally, the Village has an ordinance against plowing snow out into or across the roadways. Please make your plow drivers aware of this rule. 

For garbage service, Waste Management asks all customers to please have the area and pathway around your container cleared of snow and ice.
