A Defiance organization that provides day training and developmental disability services brought a group to the Van Wert County Bluegrass Festival on the morning of Sept. 24, 2026.
Musicians who had already arrived at the fairgrounds performed informally for the visitors before the day's scheduled sets got underway, according to the Mercer County Outlook.
We Are Limitless, based in Defiance, centers its work on helping the people it serves take part in community life, form friendships and have meaningful experiences, the outlet reported. Provider records cited in the account indicate the organization has operated as a developmental disability day-training provider since 2020.
The outing coincided with the opening day of the 15th annual festival, a three-day event at the Van Wert County Fairgrounds, 1055 S. Washington St. Organizers scheduled it to run Thursday through Saturday, Sept. 24-26.
Gospel Night performances were set to begin at 6 p.m. Thursday with a $10 admission. Friday programming starts at 6 p.m. and Saturday at noon, each with $20 admission. A weekend pass costs $40, and the outlet noted the artists are not listed in performance order.
Camping is included with paid admission, while water and electric hookups cost $10 per day. Golf carts require insurance, pets must be leashed, and food concessions and a cornhole tournament are planned, per the report.
