This ceremony was to celebrate the opening of the Cleveland Environmental Center at 3500 Lorain. Following the 5:00 festivities, a reception was held inside the building.
A ticket was required to enter the reception. You can see what the tickets looked like here. (They were the postcards that were mailed out to people to announce the ceremony.)
Here are some pictures that were taken at the event.
