This post documents my experience on September 3, 2016.
It was a beautiful day in Canal Winchester…
…perfect for a Labor Day Festival.
The main stage was being set up for that evening…
…with a secondary stage ready to go…
…and kids and families were taking advantage of the various games…
…rides…
…and face painting…
…as adults relaxed in the Ugly Mug Beer Garden.
Vendors were spread throughout the festival grounds…
…allowing visitors to shop among everything from garments to accessories…
…and talk to local groups in their community.
But I was most impressed with the food.
There were burgers…
…sausages…
…bahn mi…
…and more.
I even felt my belly grumble when I saw the Cupzilla truck.
