This year we drew hundreds of women from our county! Among the participants were Springfield Chief of Police Allison Elliott, Clerk of Courts, Sheila Rice, and Melissa Tuttle of Clark County Court of Common Pleas. We hosted around 30 women-owned business vendors.  We also raised money for a cancer awareness program called “Think Pink,” and took donations for Period Kits. With the music, the food, the shopping and the fellowship, it made a memorable night that people are still talking about. 

     This was also a moment to recognize just how impactful women are in our economy, as many vendors had record-breaking sales. I can’t help thinking about the women who came before us who gifted us this day through their hard work, perseverance, and dedication. Now we can carry on their light for the next generation of women.
