Laughter, singing, food and kid-friendly activities
summarize the afternoon of festivities sponsored by Second
Baptist Church on Saturday, August 23. “Everything you see
was coordinated by these two ladies. I thank you for the
work you’ve done. You’re labor was a success,” explained
Rev. J.L. Boose.
Margaret Tarrant, Second Baptist outreach director, and
Shirley Williams, Family and Friends festival co-chairman,
both received a standing ovation from festival attendees
immediately following Rev. Boose’s words of appreciation.
The festival was organized on their newly-acquired property
located in Holland, Ohio. Attendees enjoyed live
entertainment from a singing group called First Creation,
spoken word, the Indiana Avenue Baptist mime team,
Springfield Township cowboys, wellness booth vendors,
Competition Corvette Cub, free food and games, free school
supplies, kids face painting and clowns.
“I would like to thank Bryson/Tucker Electric Company, their
electrical assistance made today possible. Thank you Tonya
Streeter of First Bite Ice Cream for generous ice cream
donations, the horseman club for the free horseback rides
for kids, Newsone Sound System for the free sound system,
and Rev. Lee Brown for his grill usage today,” said Tarrant.

“Today was about food and fun. Thank you to all the
volunteers for their time and effort. It’s hot out here, and
we didn’t have to pay for anything. People are so generous.
I’m grateful to our pastor, Rev. J.L. Boose and our Second
Baptist Church family. The community is always invited to
fellowship with us at 11:00am each Sunday at 330 Oak Terrace
Blvd, Holland, Ohio until our new building is completed,”
said Williams.
