Get ready to remodel
If a home remodeling project is on your to-do list this spring, you can get some of the legwork out of the way at the Cleveland Home + Remodeling Expo, a new home show at the Cleveland Convention Center.
Unlike home shows that are more geared toward entertainment, this one is targeted at people planning home-improvement projects. You’ll find the usual vendor displays, as well as decorated room vignettes, a tricked-out Ultimate Garage and an Outdoor Living Oasis.
Today is the show’s last day. It’s open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Tickets are $10, with discounts for seniors and children. Details are at www.homeandremodelingexpo.com.

The Maple Sugar Festival & Pancake Breakfast continues today and next Saturday and Sunday at Hale Farm & Village, 2686 Oak Hill Road, Bath Township, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The festival includes tree tapping demonstrations, tours of the sugar bush, samples of local syrups, oxen demonstrations and more.
Admission, which includes breakfast, is $15 for adults; $10 for children ages 3 to 12; $5 for members; $5 for breakfast only, which is served until 3 p.m.

Movie time
The Cleveland International Film Festival kicks off Wednesday with its opening-night showing of Not Another Happy Ending, then tests the enthusiasm, endurance and bladders of moviegoers on a daily basis through March 30.
Most showings are at Cleveland’s Tower City, but the festival will also have screenings in other venues, including its annual “Day and Knight in Akron” on March 27.
