PIKE COUNTY, Ohio — The Community Action Committee of Pike County (CAC) will be hosting a Spring Community Event on Tuesday, April 4th from 5:00 – 7:00 pm at the Pike County Fairgrounds’ Multipurpose Building area at 311 Mill Street in Piketon. The event is free for the community and offers Easter fun with an Easter Egg Hunt and a visit with the Easter Bunny. The CAC’s Early Childhood Education Program will also provide a Petting Zoo in cooperation with The Barker Farm, featuring a camel, mini cow, llama, alpaca, mini pig, rabbits, goats, and a porcupine for children to interact with during the event.
The event aims to provide valuable information about the resources and programs at the CAC, as well as other community partners, to the community. The Easter Egg Hunt will be separated by timeframes and will have areas designated for age groups to ensure safety and enjoyment for all the children that wish to participate. The Easter Egg Hunt is proudly sponsored by Southern Ohio Communication Services (SOCS).
In addition to the CAC Programs, the partnering organizations of CAC will also be participating in this event to showcase their services.
