🌻 Did you know? 🌻

We have some pretty special little places right here in our own backyard in Paulding Ohio! The Paulding County Park District, Inc. has several beautiful parks, and one of them is New Rochester Park, which was once the first county seat.

I stopped by there this morning and just had to share these beautiful sunflowers. 🌻 They were standing proud and tall, showing off their bright yellow, happy little faces. 💛 There’s just something about sunflowers that can put a smile on your face!

New Rochester Park also has picnic tables and benches where you can sit and relax while the kids play on the playground. It’s a nice little place to slow down, enjoy the outdoors, and take in a bit of local history.

Sometimes we don’t have to go far to find something beautiful. ❤️🌻☀️

Have you ever stopped by New Rochester Park?

What a wonderful time for Cecil Village Park! 💚

We are so happy to see our community come together to make this vision a reality. On August 21, 2026 more than 20 volunteers of all ages and backgrounds joined together to help improve the park and create a welcoming place for everyone to enjoy.

More than concrete was poured that day—connections were made, a vision began to take shape, and community spirit was on full display. 🙌

A huge thank-you to everyone who gave their time, energy, and talents to make this project possible. This concrete pad is just one step toward a brighter future for Cecil Village Park, and we are excited to see what comes next!

When a community comes together with a common purpose, great things can happen. ❤️

✨ The public is welcome and encouraged to attend!

I was today years old when I learned…spaying and neutering community cat colonies is actually one of the most effective and humane ways to control cat populations.

Today at Kiwanis, Jenna Benzing from the Kitty Hope Foundation shared that cats are territorial by nature. When cats are spayed or neutered, they stay put and defend their space — which helps prevent new cats from moving in and continuing the cycle.

The Kitty Hope Foundation spayed and neutered more than 400 cats in 2025, as well as provided many other medical services and adoptions, and has partnered with the local villages like Haviland and Cecil to help control cat populations and they are open to partnering with others that need help.

Grateful for the education and the work happening right here in our community.

Reach out to them if you need help or if you’d like to donate or volunteer.
