    NAMIWalks Clark, Greene and Madison Counties

    John Bryan Community Center, 100 Dayton Street, Yellow Springs · verified Aug 23
    See details

    Now in its second year, NAMIWalks Clark, Greene and Madison Counties brings neighbors together to lift up awareness, build connection, and offer hope for people impacted by mental health conditions. It also shines a light on a difficult reality... the typical gap between first symptoms and receiving care can stretch to about 11 years, and collective action can help shorten that wait. Participation can take many forms, from walking and stopping by to show support to spreading the word or donating, and every gesture reinforces that no one should face mental health challenges alone. Guided by the #MentalHealthforAll movement, this gathering focuses on creating a community where reaching out for support is understood, encouraged, and valued.

    TGG Market - 2026 Season

    6280 Brantford Rd, Dayton · verified Aug 23
    See details

    The Grazing Ground Market offers a neighborhood hub for garden-fresh produce, time with friendly goats, and distinctive homemade treats. Naturally grown fruits and vegetables and farm-fresh eggs come straight from a 6.5-acre urban farm, grown without chemicals and full of care. Small-batch jellies and jams made with foraged blossoms and homegrown ingredients rotate through the season, with uncommon flavors such as dandelion, wild violet, hibiscus, rose, tomato, and onion. Cozy additions include fruit butters and seasonal spreads like salted caramel pear, along with fresh gluten-free baked goods that tend to sell out fast. Beyond the pantry, the market features farm-inspired gifts and handmade items, including natural luffa soaps, firestarters, garden-themed pieces, and other seasonal creations that bring a bit of farm charm home. During market hours, visitors can visit and feed the resident goats, take photos, and enjoy a little farm time while shopping. Because everything is seasonal and produced in small batches, the selection changes from one market day to the next…part of the fun of each visit.
