Hamilton Heights’ Fall Family Resource Night was a great success. The event, spearheaded by Mary Ann Haymaker, Hamilton Heights Youth Assistance Early Intervention Advocate, drew in over 30 vendors featuring professionals, products, services and resources including Kids Coats and Changing Footprints, who passed out free coats and shoes. In addition, there was a variety of fun activities for children including face painting, coloring and candy.

“I am guessing we had approximately 250 people who attended this year’s event,” said Mary Ann Haymaker of the third annual community resource festival. “We are deeply appreciative to all who helped make this event possible and for all those who took the time to attend to learn about local resources and services should there be a need now or in the future. Special thanks to teacher and staff for their time and contributions to this year’s festival.
