The City of Hartford has planned a Spring Break event for the community on April 5th from 11am-1pm!
During the event we will have a “touch a truck” with various pieces of equipment from our community groups. We will also have volunteers from our community organizations set up at each basketball hoop to play a game of “huskies” (similar to "PIG") with the kids that come. On top of all of that, the Fire Department Auxiliary is providing food that will be prepared by Smokin’ D’s Food truck.

The after-school program being created in Van Buren County is designed to focus on fine arts, aiming to enrich students' educational experiences across the county. This program intends to offer a diverse range of fine arts activities including painting, drawing, music, theater, and dance, allowing students to explore their creative talents and develop new skills. The program is inclusive, targeting benefits for all students, regardless of their background or skill level. By participating in this program, students will have the opportunity to engage in artistic expression, enhance their appreciation for the arts, and foster a supportive community of young artists. The initiative not only aims to cultivate students' artistic abilities but also to contribute to their overall personal and academic growth.
To make sure we are building something the community wants to be a part of, these inputs and opinions are vital in the creation process.
