Freedom Farm Fall Festival-
This coming Saturday, October 7, our own Freedom Farm for Vets is hosting its annual Fall Festival on their grounds at 13155 W. Hart St. here in Wadsworth. 

It's a family event with lots of stuff to do for kids as well as everyone else: food, games, face painting, horseshoes, pumpkin painting, a 50/50 raffle and much more. The grounds are actually a working farm with animals and crops.

The Freedom Farm is a not-for-profit organization that provides a safe haven for veterans including our heroes who suffer from post traumatic stress disorder.  Attending the Fall Festival helps support those men and women.

For more information including contact information, click    HERE  to see the event flyer.

If you can, bring the family and support our veterans.
The Village's Fall Festival-

On September 16th, we held our annual Fall Festival and Pig Roast on the village grounds. 

Approximately 600 people showed up for the free concert and bonfire and all seemed to have a great time.  The weather was absolutely perfect. Some great food was provided by the Savanna House and people chowed down on it like there was no tomorrow, as the expression goes.

We also held our first-ever salsa challenge.  19 different salsas were entered which we took great pleasure in judging.  Our palates sampled hot stuff, medium stuff, sweet stuff, but all good stuff! Picking the winners was a difficult task because all the entries were good.

Carmen Ruelas won the contest for green salsa and Regina Ingram captured the red, anything goes, and overall categories. Congratulations to both of them and thanks to everyone who entered the competition.

We have just a few photos from the event and if you want to see them, click  HERE.  

Thanks goes to the master planners of the event, Trustee Geralyn Hansen and Savanna House owner Mary Bennett.  Additional thanks is directed to Geralyn's spousal unit, Gary Hansen, for staying up all night roasting the pig.
