Each of these incredible organizations, businesses, and individuals pitched in to help us provide a completely free, family-friendly event for the Newcomerstown community. Their generosity allows local families to come together, enjoy a fun day, and learn more about the many resources available to them through local agencies and organizations throughout Tuscarawas County.

This event is about more than just a day of fun. It is an opportunity to connect our community with the people, organizations, and resources that are here to support them. We are so proud to bring these agencies together and give community members the opportunity to meet them, ask questions, and learn about the services available right here in our own community.

Without each and every one of you, today would not have been possible. Your generosity, time, and commitment to our community truly make a difference.

And, of course, a huge THANK YOU to our amazing community members who came out to support the event and enjoy the day with us! Even with the rain, the day was filled with smiles, laughter, fellowship, and wonderful memories.

What a fantastic way to celebrate our first responders, connect our community with valuable resources, and wrap up the summer together!

We are already looking forward to next year! Thank you for helping make our Second Annual First Responder Event & Community Day a success!

We would like to show our gratitude to Mr. Baker, Newcomerstown High School Art Program Teacher, and recent Newcomerstown High School graduate, Kenley Hayes.

Kenley is attending The Ohio State University this fall, and as anyone around town has probably figured out, she is heavily involved in numerous programs and activities throughout the Village. How she had time to do this project is beyond us, because she is so busy throughout this community.

When approached about painting a mural in the lobby of the police department, both Mr. Baker and Kenley jumped at the opportunity, and we believe they have provided a positive improvement to our building that can be a topic of discussion and a symbol of pride for residents and officers for years to come.

We would like to share our appreciation to a few special women that do way more than people know behind the scenes for our Village, especially the children of Newcomerstown. These ladies don’t do anything for recognition, but we wanted to show how truly thoughtful they are!!!

Recently, Mrs. Sandy Henry and Mrs. Linda Collins approached the Chief of Police and inquired if we could use any more blankets for our cruisers. Due to having previous donations of numerous blankets from some other extraordinary women in the community, the Chief mentioned that he has seen Officers in the past that carry stuffed animals in their cruisers for children during traumatic events.

Mrs. Henry and Mrs. Collins then took it upon themselves to purchase and donate a variety of stuffed animals to the police department. Mrs. Henry approached Barrons Design Company with her idea and they worked together to come up with these special rabbits that are customized with the NCTPD initials.

These stuffed animals will be placed in every cruiser and will be used for children during a high stress or traumatic event. This helps calm their anxiety and gives them some extra comfort in difficult situations.

We thank you ladies, and we are sure that children in Newcomerstown will thank you!!!
