This post documents my experience on June 18, 2022.
As karaoke started up in the beer garden…
…the entertainment stage was being set up just down the street…
…getting things ready for another evening of music at the Summer Jam Festival in Mt. Sterling.
Rides filled the streets…
…and they were accompanied with games…
…one of which gave you the chance to win a live rabbit.
As special announcements were made from the gazebo…
…some festival goers took their chances at bike and prize raffles in front of Town Hall…
…while others went shopping in the vendor/craft area…
…where offerings included items made in macramé…
…crystals and gemstones (Fire Fox Crystals)…
…some direct sales vendors like Color Street and Tastefully Simply…
…beaded keychains, T-shirts galore (Mom Life Designs)…
…and everything Buckeye (Buck I Guy).
Finally, there was a nice selection of food options as there were pizza, sausage…
…hamburgers, hot dogs, a variety of hot sandwiches (Masonic Lodge/Little Bear)…
…more decadent items like fried cheese, funnel cakes…
…and homemade waffles fried in peanut oil (First United Methodist Church).
