For 29 years, the New Madison Kiwanis Club has sponsored a Picnic for the Darke County Home residents in early June. The purpose of this spring picnic and gathering was to promote awareness of the important function that the County Home provides for Darke County residents and to establish a link between the home residents and community leaders. The residents of the home looked forward to the Picnic for the entire year, and were very appreciative of the Kiwanis Clubs’ work.
When the County Commissioners closed the County Home, the New Madison Kiwanis began looking for a project to take the place of the County Home Picnic. Several suggestions were considered before agreeing to serve our Veterans. Thanks to the Darke County Agriculture Society, we will set up our Sausage Barn on the Fairgrounds in the same spot we use for the fair.
The New Madison Kiwanis Club will be serving our famous Sausage Sandwiches June 15 and 16 from 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM, or while supplies last. This event will be open to the public, and free sandwiches will be offered to Veterans with proper ID. All proceeds from this project will go to the Darke County Veterans Organization. Mark your calendars and come to the Fairgrounds for an early taste of our famous Sausage Sandwiches.
