ALBION – The Orleans County Legislature, in conjunction with the County Youth Bureau, hosted its 10th annual “Family Game Night” last week at Dubby’s Tailgate and the event was a tremendous success.

More than 340 people attended to play board games, enjoy free pizza and treats, and learn about county services.  The number of attendees is double from last year’s event and is the highest level of participation ever for the event.

“We could not be more thrilled with 100-plus families joining us for Family Game night,” said County Legislature Chairman Lynne Johnson. “I want to commend the Youth Bureau Board members, volunteers and county staff for organizing a great event that will hopefully continue to grow in future years.”

Several county departments were on hand to provide information on services that can help families including the Emergency Management Office (EMO), Job Development/Career Center, Mental Health, Office for the Aging, Personnel, Planning and Development, Probation, Public Health, Sheriff, Social Services – Child & Family Services, Soil & Water, and Tourism. In addition, Modern Disposal and Child Care Resource & Referral from Community Action took part as well.

Children were excited to see Grimace and the Hamburgler, courtesy of McDonald’s of Albion. Attendees were provided with two slices of Dubby’s pizza, an apple and a drink. The first 150 to arrive received complimentary passes to the Medina Railroad Museum.  All families took home their own board game to hopefully start their own family game night.

Sponsors for the event included Dubby’s Tailgate, Tops Friendly Markets, Singleyn Enterprises – McDonald’s of Albion, Evan’s ACE Hardware & Building Supplies, Medina Railroad Museum, Lyndonville Lions Club, Subway, and Case-Nic Cookies.
