Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores in Hudson has joined the Taste of Hudson lineup and will support the community at the event Sept. 5 and 6 in downtown Hudson.

The Jo-Ann Kids' Craft Zone, will feature "Make It-Take It" projects throughout the event. Children will be able to participate in a "Make It-Give It" craft where they can decorate a circle that will be a part of a large paper quilt that will be donated to Akron Children's Hospital. The Jo-Ann Kids' Craft Zone will be on the Akron Children's hospital and Summa Health System's Activity Green.

"Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores is proud to participate in Taste of Hudson. Supporting this event allows us to demonstrate our commitment to the community that we call home," said Travis Smith, president and chief operating officer for Jo-Ann Stores. "We're looking forward to a fun-filled event on Labor Day weekend."

The sixth annual Taste of Hudson will present more than 20 restaurant tents offering selections from their restaurant menus, a variety of live entertainment including more than 100 acts on eight stages, family and children exhibits and activities, dozens of exhibitors and the North End Wine and Beer Garden.

Akron Children's Hospital, Summa Health System and ACME Fresh Market will be co-presenting sponsors.

"We are very grateful that these excellent institutions continue to partner with Taste of Hudson to present this great festival," said Andy Malitz, executive director for the Taste of Hudson. "The commitment of our sponsors reflects the success of this event, which is now established as a major regional draw to our community proving that Hudson is indeed a destination location."

Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores join other Hudson based sponsors that include Windstream Communications, Laurel Lake Retirement Community, Little Tikes and First & Main.

Taste of Hudson is planned by its organizing committee, directed by Malitz, under the auspices of the Taste of Hudson Inc. board of directors.
