The Big Deer Contest: Fostering Community and Outdoor Fun with Chief Mike Currington
Episode Description: The Big Deer Contest: Fostering Community and Outdoor Fun with Chief Mike Currington
In this inspiring episode, Sean sits down with Fowler Township Police Chief Mike Currington to discuss the origins and growth of the Big Deer Contest, an annual event that has become a beloved tradition in Trumbull County. Born out of the challenges of the COVID lockdowns in 2020, Chief Currington's vision was to encourage students and their families to get outside and connect with nature during a time when outdoor activities were limited.
The journey began when Chief Currington presented his idea to Mathew School District's School Resource Officer, Steven Smith, and together they set out to create an event that would bring joy and excitement to the community. With the support of the School Board, the Big Deer Contest officially launched, and it has since flourished from a small gathering of participants to an impressive sixty competitors in its fourth year!
Join us as Chief Currington shares the story behind the contest, its impact on the community, and how it fosters a love for the outdoors among students. Whether you're interested in participating, sponsoring, or supporting similar initiatives in your area, this episode provides valuable insights into how grassroots efforts can create lasting change. For more information about the Big Deer Contest or to get involved, reach out to Chief Currington at [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) or call (330) 637-7111. Tune in and discover how a simple idea can make a big difference!
