🎶 LoConti Brings Funky Holiday Vibes to Mentor with Free Christmas Show

Local Band LoConti Bringing Holiday Cheer to Mentor with Free Christmas Show

Cleveland-based rock/funk band LoConti is set to bring their high-energy sound to Mentor for a festive night of music and celebration. The seven-piece group will perform live at Tommy Boys Pub on Friday, December 19, from 8 p.m. to midnight.

Known for their genre-blending style—combining alternative rock with funk, jazz, and soul—LoConti has built a loyal following across Northeast Ohio. What began as a group of self-taught musicians jamming in basements and small venues has grown into a polished act that thrives on rhythm, saxophone-infused grooves, and melodic vocals.

The event is free to attend and open to the public. Guests are encouraged to dress in their most festive Christmas sweaters or outfits, as the best-dressed attendee will win free LoConti merchandise. With a lively atmosphere, great music, and a touch of holiday spirit, the night promises to be a memorable one for local music lovers.

 🛁 Lore Bathing Club Brings Hot-and-Cold Wellness Ritual to NYC Locals

Could this be coming to the Mentor area next?

A fresh wellness trend is taking hold in New York City, offering a gentler alternative to high-intensity workouts and spas. Lore, a new “bathing club” in Noho, invites New Yorkers to practice contrast therapy—rotating between hot saunas and icy plunge pools—multiple times a week for long-term health benefits.

Inspired by Scandinavian winter swimming clubs, Lore promotes regular visits, backed by science linking sauna use to better heart health, sleep, brain function, and longevity. Cold immersion may also ease muscle soreness, improve recovery, and support immunity and mood.

The Manhattan club offers a calming, minimalistic space where guests alternate between an infrared sauna (up to 140°F) and a Finnish sauna (up to 190°F), followed by a dip in a cold plunge pool chilled to 40–50°F. Sessions last 75 minutes, with the option to repeat the hot-cold cycle several times. A brief guided moment may include aromatherapy or stretching, but otherwise, the environment is quiet and stripped-down.

Memberships cost $145 per week or $225 per month for unlimited access, emphasizing routine over indulgence.

The facility includes a café-style reception area with bone broth, tea, and juice, and features warm lighting, wood finishes, and a tranquil design. Lore targets a wide demographic—from younger adults replacing nightlife with wellness to older individuals seeking a low-barrier health routine. The founders envision it as a “third space” for relaxation and community, not just fitness.

Unlike gyms or group classes, Lore requires only the ability to sit in heat, brave the cold, and commit to the process. Members are likely to leave feeling refreshed—and healthier—with every visit.

🏒 Fast Start and Strong Finish Propel Mentor Hockey to Victory

The Mentor Cardinals boys ice hockey team edged out a narrow 4-3 victory over the Hudson Explorers on Sunday in a game marked by momentum swings and a dramatic final period.

Mentor came out strong, netting two goals in the opening period to take early control. Hudson answered back in the second, cutting the deficit to 2-1 while keeping Mentor scoreless.

Joe Mackey led the Cardinals with a standout performance, contributing three points—scoring the game-winning goal and assisting on two others. Adam Stoops and Beckett Swinehart also found the back of the net, while Zach Ulshafer added two assists to support the offensive effort.
