How Can We Make Our Community More Tolerant?

This Sunday, Solon will hold its first-ever Tolerance Fair.

The event was organized by , a Solon Middle School student who has Tourette syndrome, after an incident at a cross country meet in Boardman. 

Justin met with Mayor Susan Drucker about creating a tolerance fair, and the city pitched in to make the event happen. It will be this Sunday at the Solon Community Center.

To celebrate the message of the Tolerance Fair, Solon Patch's "You Said It" feature will talk to you, the residents of Solon, about how you think we can build a more accepting and tolerant community.

To start things off, we asked the Bachman family – Justin and his parents, Ron and Lisa Bachman – to weigh in on what makes a tolerant community.
