Dear Attendees of The National NeedleArts Association’s Summer Trade Show:

Welcome to !

It’s an exciting time to be in Cleveland – a time of growth when passionate people with a hearty entrepreneurial spirit are getting things done and changing how the world views our city.

Currently, our region is welcoming billions of dollars in infrastructure development, which includes everything from a dramatic contemporary art museum to new restaurants, bars and new or renovated attractions.

Attending an event should be a memorable experience and a great way to discover a new destination. That said, you’ve come to the right place.

During your downtime, I encourage you to visit and enjoy a night out on East 4th St., play your hand at the JACK Casino Cleveland, get that “bucket list” experience at the Rock Hall or chat it up with our locals in one our diverse neighborhoods like City, Tremont, or Little Italy.

If you need anything during your stay, stop by our Visitors Center located at 334 Euclid Ave., visit us online at www.thisiscleveland.com, call us at 800.321.1001 or connect with us on Twitter at @TheCLE.

And, if you’re having a great time and want to share your experience, make sure to use the hashtag #ThisisCLE.
