The spirit of community service and celebration of Women's History Month will converge at the Lorain County Fairgrounds tomorrow, as Deputy Hurlburt and the Lorain County Sheriff's Office host the 1st Annual Tack Swap. According to a social media post from the Lorain County Sheriff's Office, Deputy Hurlburt has been instrumental in organizing the event, which aims to reignite the Mounted Unit program.

A generous outpouring from individuals and local businesses, including law enforcement members, horse enthusiasts, and general community members, have donated resources to make this day possible. The event promises various activities, including 40 vendors and over 40 raffles – a testament to the community's collective support. Guests can also look forward to door prizes, and while there, they can savor Pinky Fresh Brew’s coffee and food offerings that are available for purchase.

The fundraiser, as described by the Sheriff's Department, is not only a nod to the horse community but also represents a larger connection within Lorain County. The #TackSwap event is set to take place from 9 AM to 2 PM at the heated Building 19 on the fairgrounds, located at 23000 Fairgrounds Rd. Wellington, OH.

Deputy Hurlburt's role in spearheading this inaugural fundraiser highlights the recognition of women’s achievements and contributions throughout history, tying into the month-long Women's History Month festivities. The Sheriff’s Office post alludes to Hurlburt's eagerness to meet community members and her passion for bringing back the Mounted Unit. This Saturday's event is for those interested in horses, law enforcement, or simply looking to support a local cause.
