On September 27th, a number of area organizations will host the Inaugural Ohio Day at The Range and Outdoor Adventure Fair. The event will bring a number of experts together in one place, one day to share their passion and expertise with participants from across the region. The mission is to introduce people with disabilities to many of our area's outdoor activities through education, hands-on opportunities and assistive technology, so they may choose to participate at their own ability level. Opening doors for people with disabilities leads to fulfilling dreams and moving beyond the boundaries placed on them. It is our hope many will learn their dreams can come true - if only they dream and then act upon that dream. Visit http://www.abilitycenter.org/oh-day-range for more information and to register or volunteer for the event.
