Well, the second annual Clintonville Pawpaw Festival is under our belts. The rain that started the day put a damper on the festival for some of the vendors. But boy, once the sun came out, so did the people!
We had some beautiful, toe-tapping music by Baja Clintonville Broadcasters (and sorry for lack of photo – it was raining, and I was fearful of my iPhone…)
Rambling House, who made a fantastic pawpaw soda…
and Tony Russell of the Ohio Pawpaw Growers Association, who brought pawpaw pulp, were sold out nearly two hours before our festival ended.
John Lloyd (johnlloyd@wideopenwest.com) brought some lovely wood pieces (we bought two!)…
and Pat Belisle showed his amazing sculptures (we bought one!).
Mike Siculan brought his strange and wonderful puppets and was a big hit with all the kids.
Of course, Scioto Gardens was there with all of their beautiful native plants (we bought some – of course!)
All of the vendors were very pleased with the way the day went. And so were we – several new members and donations came our way!
We are so excited to begin planning for next year’s festival!
Until next time!
