“It’s going to be a adventure through Lima to explore the local Lima history. There are going to be placards mounted downtown and various areas throughout the city. You will be able to find information about the trail on visitgreaterlima.com and we will also have a table set up at Third Thursdays where you can get some hands on in person experience as well,” said Cricket Rodriguez, executive director of Downtown Lima.

DELPHOS, Ohio (WLIO) - The Delphos Kiwanis Club is once again bringing fun and community spirit to town with its annual 4th of July celebration.

Entertainment continues into the evening, with the Lima Area Concert Band performing at 8 p.m. in the Bowl at Faurot Park. The concert leads up to the region’s largest fireworks display, which will light up the sky at 10 p.m.

“Something that people need to learn and understand is what it really means to celebrate this,” said Marc Wright, Juneteenth Committee Chair. “It's unity. It's education, you know, so and all about, you know, learning about what happened. How can we grow? How can we all be in this world together? And, you know, just love each other at the end of the day.”

“We have everybody that's somebody is here today,” said Charles Jackson, a ViaQuest administrator. “Many of them do not get this opportunity to dress up, to have a day that’s just for them. The glam, the glamour—it’s all about them. This is their special day. They’re kings, they’re queens, they’re celebrities. This is the one day we say we love you, we appreciate you, and we honor you.”

“It’s actually a lot safer because we had potholes in the other lot that were becoming a significant problem, and it makes it easier for staff, volunteers, customers to wheel items out and load them,” said Benji Bergstrand, ReStore manager. “It’s just safer, more efficient, more attractive all around — a good thing.”

“It’s a matter of culture here at Lima Memorial,” Swick said. “We’re a culture of family, quality care in a family atmosphere. It’s amazing to find the generosity and how people recognize one another. We’re a team, and that’s how we take care of patients. That’s how we take care of individuals.”

LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) - Families took advantage of the pleasant weather Sunday to celebrate Mother's Day at Faurot Park.

“The kids really look forward to it,” Spriggs said. “We make cards for the SROs in the building, they interact with the local PD, and just see that we appreciate everything that they do every day to protect us and keep us safe here at school and in the community.”
