Children's Activities Returning to Tiffin-Seneca Farmers Market

This Saturday’s Farmers Market will see the first children’s activities since before the pandemic. Activities will kick off this week with a bingo contest and coloring pages and will continue for the rest of the market season. Activities will include crafts, games, contests, education and more. Many local organizations are coming together to create family-friendly fun this season including Seneca County Common Ground, local churches, the SNAP educators of Seneca County’s OSU Extension office, the All Patriots Memorial group, and many others.

For the bingo contest this week, children are encouraged to visit different vendors and put a sticker on their card when they find the items listed on their card. All participants who complete the scavenger hunt will receive a small prize. Bingo sheets will be located at the Market Bank table. In the following months, a multitude of community organizations will come to the market to provide special activities for children. Some of these organizations include the SNAP Education leaders, from Seneca County’s OSU Extension Office. The SNAP Educators will be at the June 26, July 10, August 14, and September 11 markets and will be providing education, answering questions and engaging children with scavenger hunts. On September 11, the Tiffin Police and Fire All Patriots Memorial committee will be bringing supplies for people of all ages to make appreciation cards for soldiers, veterans and first responders. The Friends of the Tiffin Seneca Public Library also will be attending the fourth Saturday of each month. They have books available to take home for donation only. This book program is a great way for children to obtain new reading materials this summer.
