The Expo brings together an abundance of resources to help parents discover tools, resources, and opportunities for their children to find their own pathways in Noble County, to enjoy and pursue the things they connect with - including academics, art, sports and recreation, and more. Providing a stable home environment is key to a child's future, and NoblePalooza brings the experts to help ensure every family in the community has an opportunity to thrive!

Leadership Development

Our community can only thrive when there is an intentional effort to "pass the torch" from one generation to the next, and NoblePalooza provides a networking opportunity for all generations to come together, make connections, and make plans for the future. The "old guard" attend the Expo to celebrate where we are while the "new guard" attends to build their own networks and carry us forward.
