Groups to host fundraiser at Wassenberg

VW independent/submitted information

On Saturday, August 22, Wassenberg Art Center on South Washington Street will be host to a community event open to all.

Celebrate Recovery of Van Wert, along with YouthNet, is hosting this fun, encouraging event with lots going on.  At 5 p.m., free food and games start. Hamburgers, hotdogs and chips will be served and there will be plenty of cornhole, 9 Square and Hillbilly Golf, along with face painting and games for youngsters.  At 7 p.m., a concert by Doug Hallock, ex-heroin addict and a talented musician, will perform songs he’s written and produced with his band in Tennessee. Hallock provides a message of hope and freedom as he talks about where he’s come from and how he’s managed to “stay on the path”.

This event is for all ages and promises to be an event area residents won’t want to miss.  For more information, call Jane at Celebrate Recovery Van Wert, 419.203.3079.
