N.E. Ohio is "haven" for wedding cookie tables!

The Mahoning Valley Historical Society has just opened a new exhibit entitled 'Mahoning Valley Weddings: Romance, Ritual and the Cookie Table.' My favorite aspect of the exhibit was this tidbit: The Mahoning Valley is a "haven" for the cookie table. Unknown to many areas throughout the country, this wedding tradition appears to be most popular in Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania.

I have an idea for a story on your blog that maybe you would be interested in. I am also a twenty-something in the DC area that works near the Hill.

"Ytown Pride", email ytown.rising@gmail.com if you would like to work on a small blog story together.

thanks for your time

Also, I like www.dcist.com for stuff to do in the District. Not sure if you heard of that DC blog.
