We don't want to say we're desperate, but . . . we could really use your help. The Center receives funds for volunteers we recruit for the Burning Snowman Fest. There are 3 shifts and all volunteers can get in to see the burning of the snowman. We could use volunteers for the 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. shift. Call 419-301-0225 to volunteer. Thank you.

Bigger. Than. Ever.

Many thanks to all of the businesses that support the fest! Without them we would have no burn!
