Willoughby Hills resident Dominic Olivo remembers well his days growing up in the Cleveland neighborhood around East 110th Street and Woodland Avenue.

It was one of what Olivo called three “great” Italian neighborhoods in those days, which the 72-year-old said also included Little Italy and Collinwood.

“When I was a kid, we used to have neighborhood picnics,” he said. “They played bocce, but in those days it was on the grass. They didn’t have these courts.”

Ladies and Gentlemen, 

I would like to thank everyone for participating in the 1^st cornhole tournament hosted by the Wickliffe Italian-American Club. There were obviously some things that did not go smoothly, some due to needing to keep the adjacent bocce tournament moving, that will be rectified in upcoming tournaments. A special thanks to J&R Cornhole Games for providing the playing boards. The winning team was from Cincinnati (Dirt Dogs – Steve Vanderver and Eric Hinderman).
