We’re excited to once again partner with Project SEARCH in Pickaway County for the 2026-2027 year!

Best of luck to these students as they begin their transition-to-work journey at Berger Hospital in Circleville. We’re excited to watch them build new skills, gain hands-on experience, and take the next steps toward their employment goals.

Here’s to a great year of learning, growing, and discovering what’s possible!

We were excited to welcome Tanya Vela, Specialist with , Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) to the Ross County Fair this week!

Ross County Agricultural Society President Brad Cosenza and Pioneer Center Superintendent Amy Beeler joined Tanya for a walk through the fairgrounds to explore accessibility firsthand, looking at what is already working well and identifying opportunities to make the fair even more accessible and welcoming for people with disabilities in the future.

Along the way, we also had the chance to visit briefly with Ross County Commissioner James “Oody” Lowe and share some of what we were learning and discussing.

We’re grateful to Tanya and OOD for sharing their expertise and perspective, and to the Ross County Agricultural Society for its continued partnership and commitment to accessibility.

There is always more we can learn and more we can do. We’re excited to keep building on the progress we’ve made and working together toward a fair that everyone can enjoy. 🎡
