If you’ve ever visited, lived in, or driven past Latty, Ohio on State Route 613 or US 127, come and see what’s happening in this small but active community. Sponsored by Latty area churches, the Third Community Festival is scheduled for Saturday, July 27, 2024 at the Latty Town Hall and Park. (There is no rain date.) The event will be from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. and is organized by members of The Latty Apostolic Christian, Friends United Methodist, & Latty Zion Baptist churches.
The festival begins at 11:00 a.m. at the Latty Town Hall with a flag-raising ceremony by local Boy Scouts, a brief welcome and recognition of Honorary citizens of the community. This will include a recognition of the new “Bee” signage and contributions that the Irvin Stoller Family has made to the Village of Latty. The festival will then move to the Latty Pavilion where there will be a registration table for door prizes that will be given away throughout the day. A picnic lunch with drink and dessert will be provided by the church members. Guests are asked to bring their lawn chairs. Handicap parking will be available as well as golf cart shuttles.
Following the lunch there will be activities for all ages including a Family Scavenger Hunt, Bouncy House, Face Painting, Balloon Artist, Games, Corn Hole, Musical Performances by area musicians and “sing-alongs”. Youth will be given a “Passport” to travel along Education Road. Each stop will have information and activities from local organizations available throughout the day, including Paulding County Amateur Radio Club, Paulding Putnam Safety Demonstration, Power 2 Change, Lifewise Academy, Paulding County Library, Habitat for Humanity, Fire Truck, and EMS.
Organizers hope the community comes out to enjoy the festivities, see old friends and make some new ones. There will also be an opportunity to donate to the Latty Youth Foundation to support the upgrading and maintaining of the Latty Park!
