back to school fairWARSAW – New Beginnings Ministries helped about 400 children get ready to return to school with its back to school fair.

The fifth annual event was held Aug. 2 at the church in Warsaw and provided students with the opportunity to get free school supplies, backpacks and haircuts.

“We do this to help and encourage families,” said Debi Durr, organizer of the event. “Everybody needs a hand up. Even if you have two adults working in the household it’s expensive and stressful to get ready to go back to school.”

During the fair, girls also had the opportunity to get their nails done and families were treated to refreshments. Pictured is Durr, one of several hair dressers/barbers who volunteered their time to give haircuts.

I started my journalism career in 2002 with a daily newspaper chain. After various stops with them, I am happy to be back home! I graduated from Coshocton High School in 1998 and received a Bachelor of Arts in Communication in 2002 from Walsh University. I also earned several awards while working for daily papers, including being honored by Coshocton County’s veterans for the stories I wrote about them. I am honored and ready to once again shine a positive light on Coshocton County. I also am the proud mother of a little girl named Sophia!
