But, a great example of what happens when a small town puts on a festival

Food, kid's games, pony rides, craft vendors, queen candidates...it all adds up to an interesting fall afternoon in a small northwestern Ohio village.

This series focuses on the people enjoying the festival activities, plus some additional parade photos.

Ohio Northern junior Lydia Cranmer (Farmington Hills, Mich./Ladywood) was named the Ohio Athletic Conference Women's Golfer of the Week for the week of Sept. 17-23.
