Opportunities for businesses and individuals

KENTON — Ohio State University Extension in Hardin County, in a partnership with Ohio Jobs  and Family Services in Hardin County and the Kenton FFA, is planning a Family Engagement Event  for Child Abuse Awareness Month.

This event will take place on Sunday, April 27, 2025, from 1-5 p.m.  at the Hardin County Fairgrounds located at 14134 Letson Avenue in Kenton. The event will be free to  the public, funded by the Ohio Children’s Trust Fund. Included in this event will be local  organizations and educational resources. Also present will be healthy food options and entertainment  from local vendors.

The Kenton High School FFA Chapter will also be holding their Ag Day in which families can explore agricultural topics, visit with animals and see farm equipment. 

Donations are being accepted from businesses and individuals that will provide a future bonding  experience for a family of four. These will be free giveaways to those participating in activities at the  event. Any monetary donations received will be used to purchase day trip opportunities and other family night activities such as board games.

Community organizations that provide services to families and children are invited to set up a table at the event space. If you are willing to donate or  participate in the event, please contact Jami Dellifield by email, [email protected], or by phone 419-674-2297.
