Preschool story time – Hamler

Arts and Culture, Community

Location: Hamler Library 162 S. Marion St., Hamler, OH 43524

Preschool story time.
We offer story time at both the Deshler and the Hamler locations with Deshler being on Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m. and Hamler’s session being on Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m.
Storytime with Miss Tammy and Miss Kelsie is open to all and there is no need to call and pre-register. Just show up for stories, crafts and fun.

September 10th & 11th – Harold the Purple Crayon

If you have any questions, give us a call at the Library at 419-278-3616.
Story time is a lot of fun for our little ones as they feel “big” going to their school like their siblings, cousins or neighbors.
A reminder that if school is cancelled, there will be no story time.
If we are in a phase of construction at Deshler where we feel that safety would be an issue, we will post any cancellations on our Facebook page. We don’t anticipate any cancellations, but you never know with construction projects.
We hope to see lots of little ones at story time!

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!
