Went to the annual Ohio Gourd Show and had so much fun! It's a completely free event and everyone…read morewas so friendly. We had a homeschool event hosted by someone from the Ohio Gourd Society where we learned all about the different varieties of gourds, ways they can be used, the history, and got to do a free painted gourd craft. I'm not ashamed to say gourds may be my new favorite art medium! Affordable, natural, and incredibly versatile. It's on every year the first full weekend (Fri/Sat/Sun) in October. Saturday is the most popular day, with music and more vendors. There is a huge display of gourd crafts up for judging in a couple dozen categories. People are so clever and talented! The fairgrounds is a great location - lots of free parking, easy to get to, classroom and learning spaces, restrooms, etc. I wish there were more food vendors but this is a very small, free event so manage your expectations! FYI: The Ohio Gourd Society really wants more people to come and get interested! If you're an artist or crafter, I highly recommend you consider it. They're a good group of people!

All of them leaving on Wednesday and Thursday takes the fun out of the rest of the week. 3) For those doing fundraisers, try keeping food in stock for the whole week. They were running out food on Monday. 4) Motorsports- The defined pit area is the pit area for those watching the events. How about some enforcement next year.

My wife and I enjoyed a flight each, some dinner, and some glasses of wine out on their patio…read morerecently. I appreciated that the tables were well spaced on the patio, and the fact that it wasn't too busy helped us get a table outdoors immediately. The owner gave some wine recommendations based on what we typically enjoy, allowed my wife to try some of the wine shake, and was very attentive in general. I really appreciate how many different wines we were able to try (we shared our flights to maximize tastes) and found plenty that we liked. Our food was great too! We had a soft pretzel for an appetizer, then a cheese pizza for me and fish and chips for my wife. We enjoyed it all. There was plenty of pizza for me, but the fish and chips was a smaller portion than we expected, but for the low cost, it was very reasonable. The appetizer was necessary to make it a full meal, but we felt it was all worth the price for the value and the quality of food. We didn't bring the kids this time, but quickly realized with the casual patio atmosphere and the kid friendly items like pizza and soft pretzel, it would work well for them to come have dinner with us while we taste some more! In conversing with the owner, he reassured us that they are family friendly, so if we want to bring the kids, we're welcome to do so. We look forward to bringing some friends and our families back!
