Greening Greater Greenfield hosts sixth annual Oktoberfest
Lead Summary
By
Jim Jones-
Greening Greater Greenfield began its first annual Oktoberfest celebration in 2011 and it has become a popular event celebrating the end of summer and the arrival of a new season. This past weekend the group held its sixth annual Oktoberfest in Greenfield.
Greening Greater Greenfield, also known as G3, is an informal organization dedicated to improving life in and around Greenfield, Ohio.
The group first convened on Nov. 18, 2010 as part of a project with the George Voinovich School of Ohio University called REAP (Regional Economic Adjustment Program). The early sessions were facilitated by Robert Gordon and Zach Holl of the Voinovich School, who helped guide the group through evaluation of strengths and weaknesses of the community, brainstorming, agreement on the geographical territory involved, and through the establishment of goals, a mission statement and a vision for the community.
Former Greenfield City Manager Betty Bishop invited a core group of area citizens to take part in the initial process.
