In a last hurrah before they head back to school, kids will take over Historic Downtown Hartville this Saturday! Event runs 10am-3pm at the intersection of St Rts 43 and 619. With more than 40 activities planned the day will be jam packed with fun.
What to do?
Most activities are FREE. Look for activities outside of shops, in the square, and along Prospect Ave, Chocolate St. & Howard Ct. We have a little of everything from crafts, checkers, and a bounce house to juggling lessons, balloon twisters, and a LEGO firewalk! See a list of activities here.
Touch a Truck
Get up close to safety, farm, military, and other interesting vehicles at Hartville Elevator.
Kid Train Rides
Free rides from Hartville RV Center next to Peace, Love and Little Donuts (yes there will be donuts!).
Meet & Greet
Mascots from Akron Rubber Ducks (11-noon) and Canton Charge (afternoon) will be around for fun and photos.
Fun in the Square
Start your day with a family fitness class led by Lake YMCA (10-11a) then enjoy games galore, live music, and gaga ball.
Will there be food?
Oh yes! Sweet treats and kid-friendly lunch options abound. What kid doesn’t want to have lunch in a school bus turned diner?
Grown-Ups Play too!
While most of Saturday’s activities are geared towards those age 12 and under, we didn’t forget about the grown-ups. Parents will enjoy the great music of the Swizzle Stick Band, be amazed by the close-up magic of Ryan the Remarkable, and can test their I Spy skills to win prizes from downtown shops.
To Play Quail Quest Pick up a game card from any of the 11 participating businesses. Visit each to find the quails and write down their color on your card. Turn in completed cards at Modern Vintage. 11 winners will be awarded gift cards and prizes from downtown shops!
Tax Free Shopping
Ohio’s tax free weekend is Saturday too. Snag a deal at Best Bib and Tucker and Two E’s in a Pod while you are downtown!
