Sebring Ohio Historical Society has announced its third Spring Fling will run noon to 4 p.m. Saturday next to the Strand Theatre at 126 N. 15th St.

This carnival-like event will include fun for the entire family, including games, prizes, activities and food.

Among the more popular events is the Chinese raffle, which will feature about 60 gift baskets. Tickets will be sold to be placed in the corresponding numbered bag, and winners will be selected at 4 p.m.

Also featured will be a plant sale and exchange. Anyone can bring plants to exchange or donate to the Strand from 11 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. During the Spring Fling, people may take plants in exchange or purchase them.

A concession stand will be open, and a picture backdrop will be available for selfies. Games for children and adults will award a prize every time. Temporary tattoos will be available for purchase.

Event programs will be available at various downtown Sebring businesses, or find more details on Facebook at Spring Fling SOHS.
