(Springboro, OH) - The Warren County Board of Developmental Disabilities hosted its annual Family Fun Day event at the Miracle League Field in Springboro on September 20, 2025. People from across the county enjoyed free food, Special Neat Treats ice cream, games, inflatables, karaoke, and of course, the opening day for the Miracle League of Greater Dayton.

The Miracle League of Greater Dayton’s goal is to offer endless opportunities to individuals of all ages and abilities to learn to play the game of baseball on its adaptive field. Each game, local volunteers partner up with an individual with a disability to assist them as they learn and play alongside them. This year, the Springboro High School baseball team played the opening game.

Upon arrival, Monster Beatz DJ’s music echoed throughout the park as guests visited local businesses' informational booths and activities. The Warren County Board of Developmental Disabilities Remote Supports and Assistive Technology Coordinator Susan Meyer created a display to represent the tools inside the Smart Technology Studio. A girl scout troop attended to make bracelets with attendees and share information about their inclusive group. REM Ohio set up a table to share information about their housing services and day programs. Talbert House had a booth aimed to share more about their mental health and substance abuse services, while also creating a fun environment with different games for attendees.

Guests made song requests, sang karaoke, and had an epic dance party lasting the entire event. The song of the day was Frozen’s “Let it Go,” as it was requested several times.

This years’ Family Fun Day theme was “Fall on the Farm.” Operations director, Dave Siebert, affectionately known as “Farmer Dave,” was in attendance and gave rides on his tractor around the parking lot. Other activities included, “Feed the Pig,” a cow milking game, an egg hunt, and a dunk tank known as “Dunk-A-Doodle-Doo.” Sheriff Barry Riley made an appearance and dunked one of the volunteer “dunkees,” Advocate Aaron Bowman. Pet Pals brought rabbits for attendees to pet and hold if they needed a break from the noise and excitement of the day.

Each year, Family Fun Day seems to grow in its outreach and the volume of attendees. This event would not be possible without the help of the Warren County Board of Developmental Disabilities' employees, as well as Officer Brock and his crew who volunteered in the kitchen this year. This inclusive, free event is always a huge hit. We are already looking forward to next year!
