Backpacks, Bluegrass & Blessings

Church Event, Community

Location: St Peter Lutheran Church, 20191 US Hwy 6, Ridgeville Corners, OH 43555

Backpacks, Bluegrass & Blessings, Sunday, Sept. 8 from 4:00-7:00pm. Celebrate back-to-school with a family fun time! On Sunday, Sept. 8 from 4:00-7:00pm, St. Peter Lutheran (20191 US 6) will host Backpacks, Bluegrass & Blessings for the community. There will be live music from Bluegrass Praise, delicious food and treats available from Tropical Freeze, a bounce house and other kids’ activities.
All are welcome, so pack up your lawn chairs, invite friends and come join the fun!
And youth can get FREE ice cream from Tropical Freeze by completing a community scavenger hunt before the event! Beginning Aug. 18, businesses around Ridgeville will post a Backpacks, Bluegrass & Blessings sign in their window. Each sign has a different word you’ll need to collect, plus a clue to the next stop.
Collect all the words and bring the completed phrase on Sept. 8th.
Here’s your first clue to get started: Everyone loves to get a card in the mail, but first it must go through this office’s scale. Head to that location in town between Aug 18-Sept 7 to pick up a sheet and start the hunt. This is a great way to dive deeper into the community, have some fun on your own time, and get free ice cream!
