DOVER (WJER) (June 18, 2025) – Various organizations are partnering to observe the Juneteenth holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.
Mark McKenzie with the Tuscarawas Valley Farmers Market says they’re again having a Juneteenth cooking demonstration with Rodney Sutton at 5 p.m. at today’s market at the county fairgrounds.
Then there’s a program at the Dover Public Library from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday – on the holiday – called ‘Juneteenth: Tin Town and Beyond,’ with members of the Dover First Baptist Church speaking about the history and culture of the African American community in Tuscarawas County.
