LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Lima organizations gather downtown to show kids a merry time.
The cafe had plenty of festive drinks and desserts for sale, and there were lots of free activities for kids like pottery decorating, making your own snow, and holiday coloring pages.
For several years, The Meeting Place on Market, alongside partners like the Lima Public Library and YES FM, has put on "Christmas in July." The cafe had plenty of festive drinks and desserts for sale, and there were lots of free activities for kids like pottery decorating, making your own snow, and holiday coloring pages. Families also listened to live Christmas music. The event is just one way Lima's nonprofits and businesses work together to give back to the kids in the community.Â

"They seem to love it. They love the music, they love doing the cookie decorating, and the library time they seem to really enjoy too," said Meeting Place employee Stephen Whited. "We started it maybe 5 to 10 years ago and then dropped off doing it, and then after COVID we thought we needed something fun to do, and so we brought this back as an annual activity."
Families also listened to live Christmas music.
Other partners include ArtSpace/Lima and Soldiers of Honor.
