LIMA, OH (WLIO) - The Allen County Board of Developmental Disabilities teamed up with FreshnFaded to throw a memorable tailgate for Saturday's big game.
Clients of the Board of DD and the community sat down together to enjoy some Buckeye football, free food, raffle prizes between quarters, and some dancing with professional DJ Pandemic.
This is the 2nd year the two organizations have hosted the tailgate, and Michigan and Ohio State fans alike are happy to have such a fun, festive place to watch the game.
"We just like to get our individuals out in the community, do things with other people in the community. We want to do what everybody else in this world wants to do," said Trois Parker, the community connection specialist for the Allen County Board of Developmental Disabilities. "They're loving every minute of it. We've got good food, good company, everybody's nice and friendly. We're having a great time, can't ask for much more."
"They get to come out and hang out with the community, and they dance, they laugh, and it's just wonderful," said Quincy Peoples, the director of Team Outreach Lima.
"For both parties, it's just that we like to do things for the community and help out any way that we can. You know, make everybody feel special, make everybody feel happy," added Leandra Johnson, the owner of FreshnFaded.
On Sunday at 4 pm, young entrepreneurs will be at FreshnFaded learning about business and selling their own products.
