Clinton County Corn Festival

We took our bicycles with us this morning, planning to ride from the Clinton County Airport. It had been quite awhile since we had ridden through the corn fields of Clinton County. With all the construction, we rode instead from Port William, a crossroads of a town that at one time had possibly been the center for grinding corn. Periodically, Cincinnati Cycle Club starts rides in Port William because of the flat country riding and because of the meat market across from the Post Office that serves the best pork chop sandwiches!






Even though this is the 31st Anniversary of the Clinton County Corn Festival, there are fields of tractors.










Here is something just a little unusual...






Our neighbor's tractor is lined up with all the other John Deere's.


Nice, huh?






The sawmill was being powered by a Farmall M.
There were several steam engines. On the right, a steam engine is getting ready to thrash wheat.
Boys and their toys!
The highlight of this particular festival is the quilt show. Over 100 quilts of assorted sizes and patterns are on display. Each more lovely than the last. I wanted to take pictures, but I truly didn't know where to begin!
