Following is a listing of our community events:

 

OCTOBER 29, 2018 - HALLOWEEN PARADE 

6:30 pm parade participants meet at Genoa Bank;
7 pm Judging begins promptly in designated age groups near the Gazebo in Downtown Genoa

 

Halloween Parade - Kiwanis has been sponsoring the Halloween Parade in downtown Genoa for over 50 years.  Each year scores of children age 1 to 6th grade, participate in the parade.  First through third place awards are given for Prettiest, Best Cartoon Character, Ugliest/Scariest and Most Creative Costumes.  Once the winners are announced, all participants and their families are welcomed to join us for a homemade donut and apple cider.

 

In case of rain: meet at St. John's UCC gym, 1213 Washington St., Genoa 43430

 

APRIL 20, 2019 - EASTER EGG HUNT

1 pm, at the Large Shelter House in Veteran's Memorial Park

 

Every spring we hold an Easter Egg Hunt and Parade at our park in Downtown Genoa.  You will see hundreds of kids dressed in costumes or sometimes in heavy coats run around the park picking up eggs.  The goal: to pick the one egg that has a prized Easter Basket ticket on the inside.  

 

The day is a fun outing for parents, grandparents, kids age 1-3rd Grade.  Truly this is what small-town life is all about. Not to mention the commitment we all make to Kiwanis.

 

INTERNATIONAL OUTREACH

Every year a collation of Kiwanians from Ridgetown, Ontario, Canada and Genoa Kiwanians meet on either US soil or Canadian soil to foster deeper friendships and networking connections. Every year we do different events. In July 2018, The Canadian collation visited us in Genoa. We took them to the Liberty Aviation Museum in Port Clinton.  After a personal tour throughout the museum, we had dinner at one of our member's homes. A delightful day was had by all.
