Adena Awards Scholarships to
Pike County Fair
Grand Champion Recipients
County fair season across southern Ohio brings families, friends and neighbors together to enjoy the fun and festivities at the highly anticipated annual events. It is also the culmination for many area youths who have dedicated their time, financial resources and passion into learning, raising and exhibiting various market animals. The best of those market projects are awarded grand champion status by fair judges.
To celebrate those achievements, the Adena Health Foundation committed to awarding $1,000 scholarships to each of the grand champion market projects at this year’s Fayette, Highland, Pike and Ross County Fairs.

Scioto Valley Golf Classic
Returns September 23
It’s been a while since the sweet swing of your golf club could impact the health of the community.
That’s about to change.
The ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic into 2021 left the Adena Health Foundation’s Scioto Valley Golf Classic in limbo last year like a teed up ball on an empty driving range. On Friday, September 23, at Crown Hill Golf Club in Williamsport, Ohio, that limbo ends with the return of the 18-hole team scrambles event.

The CAC will be Hosting
A CRAFT FAIR EVENT
The Community Action Committee of Pike County (CAC) will be hosting a Craft Fair Event at the Senior Center (402 Clough Street in Waverly) on Saturday, October 22 from 10am to 3pm.
This fundraising event will provide local craft vendors and artists the opportunity to rent a table space to showcase and sell their merchandise. The table rental fee is $25 with proceeds going to the CAC’s Events Committee to assist in funding upcoming community events (e.g. Trunk-or-Treat, Reindeer Games, etc). In addition, the CAC’s Events Committee will be selling concessions throughout the event to raise funds.
“We’re very excited to be offering this event to our community, not only for the craft vendors and artists but also to the general public and just in time for the upcoming holiday season,” stated Amber Wheeler, Executive Assistant at the CAC. “We have so many talented artists in our area, and we wanted to give them the opportunity to showcase their work and support their efforts to grow their small businesses.”
The Craft Fair Event is open to the public and no admission is required. Vendor forms and money must be received by Monday, October 17.
