Ohio Archery Season is open from Sep 26, 2026, to Feb 7, 2027. The City of Wellston allows archery deer hunting on pre-approved City lands as a means of population control. Thinning the herd may minimize the potential for property damage associated with car/deer collisions and the animals feeding on your shrubs and trees. Hunters may apply for a deer hunting permit by entering the lottery and then submitting a hunting application.

Applications and related information can be found by visiting the following links, or you can visit the mayor’s office to pick up a packet.

As part of Wellston’s America 250 festivities, we are excited to introduce Picnics at the Park—a series of community gatherings celebrating our history, connections, and hometown pride.

We are inviting local non-profits, community groups, and businesses to host a picnic during this special year. Hosting is simple! We are only asking for a date and time commitment—our goal is to make participation easy and accessible for everyone.

Picnics can be casual, creative, educational, fun, or simply a chance for neighbors to come together and enjoy the park. Whether you want to showcase your organization, provide family-friendly activities, or just bring people together over food and conversation, we’d love to have you involved.

If your group is interested in hosting a Picnic at the Park, please contact us to reserve a date and time. Let’s make America 250 a celebration the whole community can enjoy!
