Superheroes assemble! Come celebrate our community heroes with an outdoor family fun program on Thursday, July 10 from 5-7 p.m. Held in partnership with the Jay County Farm Bureau, Inc., this program will give families a chance to meet local first responders and see their vehicles. Families will have a chance to meet representatives from the Museum of the Soldier, the Portland Police, the Portland Fire Department, and chat with local health providers. In the library’s Community Room, the Jay County Farm Bureau will be providing a Taste of Jay County experience, celebrating our local farming community heroes and giving an opportunity to try the variety of foods produced here. Outside, families will enjoy a superhero training camp with a variety of superhero games and activities. Children will get to make their own superhero cape and accessories and visit a petting zoo. In addition, participants in the library’s Superhero Reading League will receive their participation prize during this program. Come on out to the library for a fun evening celebrating our local heroes!
