Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the first responders, service members, and everyday Americans whose courage and selflessness defined one of our nation’s darkest days.

We also recognize the men and women who continue that legacy of service here at home, including the Obetz Police Department, Hamilton Township Fire Department, and first responders everywhere who dedicate themselves to keeping our communities safe.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Zucchinifest is big. Children are small. You can see where this is going. 😌

Stop by the Info Booth and grab a Child Safety Wristband for your little one. It’s quick, free, and could make a big difference if your group gets separated.
