AKRON, OH - The Akron Aeros were delighted to aid Hale Farm and Village in their yearly gardening and grounds preparation, Wednesday, May 11.
The Aeros traveled just a few miles north of Canal Park to the Western Reserve Historical Society's Hale Farm and Village, an outdoor living history museum, reflecting Northeastern Ohio life of the mid-1800's.
Upon arrival, the Akron Aeros office staff was split into groups, cleaning and weeding lines of oak trees and the village's vegetable garden. Equipped with shovels, buckets and gloves, the staff enjoyed getting their hands dirty and soaking up the sunny May day.
While touring the village the staff also had the chance to witness live historical re-enactments performed for local elementary school children.
"It was a great opportunity to contribute at Hale Farm. It's such a unique place for the community to visit and learn about history right before their eyes. We were proud to assist in some way so that the community can continue to take advantage of all Hale Farm has to offer," Aeros Suites, Picnics and Community Relations Coordinator NICOLE BLUM said.
As part of the "Helping Hands Program," the Aeros front office volunteer at a local charity each month in order to reach out to the Akron-Canton community. Next month, the office staff will volunteer at the Salvation Army.
