Learn about agriculture at First Farm Days By Beth Scott beth@coshoctoncountybeacon.com

COSHOCTON – For the past several years, Coshocton Soil and Water Conservation District has teamed up with Our Town Coshocton to host an agricultural-themed First Friday event, and this year will be no exception.

“The goal of the whole event is to have a program to help the public understand the importance of agriculture in our community and beyond,” said Deb Bigelow, district administrator of Coshocton Soil and Water Conservation District. SEE CONCERT ON PAGE 19

West Lafayette Homecoming

COSHOCTON – WIC is trying something new this August that the whole community is invited to come out and enjoy. Instead of their traditional community baby shower they are having a nutrition fair from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 4 to celebrate breast feeding awareness month and kids eat right month. “There will be family friendly info and lots of fun activities for kids,” said Cindy Hilbish, RDN, LD from the Coshocton County WIC office. One activity she and Willa Hamersley, director of the Coshocton County WIC program, are really excited about is the kids’ food activity where they will make a fruit pizza using WIC certified foods. “We want them to see that healthy foods can be fun and tasty,” Hamersley said. “Also kids are more likely to eat something if they make it. We want to open their eyes to something different.” Part of Kenilworth Avenue, which runs next to the WIC office on Seventh Street, will be closed for a farmer’s market, where WIC recipients will be able to use their farmer’s market coupons.
