Ohio Statehood Day activities in Chillicothe will be cancelled this year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. That includes the Annual Chillicothe Kiwanis Club and Ross County Ministerial Association Statehood Day Prayer Breakfast.
Despite that fact, the Kiwanis Club has announced that their “Spirit of Ohio” Achievement Award would be going to Adena Health System on behalf of their frontline workers for their efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a prepared press release, Chillicothe Kiwanis Club President Melody Young says “Their actions and commitment truly reflect and represent the Spirit Of Ohio.”
The award will be shared to the community through the Kiwanis Club’s Facebook page.
Young says “The Ross County Ministerial Association will additionally be asked to continue their tradition by establishing Statehood Sunday on March 7th, 2021 to pray for guidance for our city, county, state and country officials during their services.”
Other local groups associated with local and state history say they too will not be conducting Open House activities this Statehood Day. That includes the Ross County Historical Society, David Nickens Heritage Center and Lucy Webb Hayes House.
