Cleveland is known as the 216 so when the 216th birthday of July 22, 2012 approached, Ohio Homecoming planned a huge party for the city and its people.

There were performances, activities, food, music and camaraderie. The Chinese community was represented by musical and dance performances. Linna Jacobson performed on the guzheng, or Chinese zither.
