Since 1969
The Women of the Old West End, founded in 1969, has been organized to promote and stabilize racially and economically integrated urban living in the Old West End of Toledo, Ohio, to improve the safety and security of the Old West End residents and property; to improve the quality of education for children within the Old West End; to improve the accuracy of information about the Old West End within and without its boundaries; to preserve the historic and aesthetic qualities of the Old West End; and to provide a means for people to meet one another and nurture friendships.
50 years ago, Toni Moore and WOWE joined up with the OWEA to hand-print our first Festival T-shirt.
This 1976 origin story was brought to life by dedicated neighbors, including the Basilius, Amstutz, Baldwin, Dusseau, and other families, launching a community tradition that we continue to celebrate.
