We bought while here plenty of items from the vendors. There were food trucks if one was interested. There was also a huge antique car show. As someone who used to investigate antique auto claims, this is near and dear to my heart. It was great to see all these incredible works of art, while talking to the owners of these impressive vehicles. It is a two day event and we only spent a few hours here. They have some type of boating event on the lake and also fireworks at night. My family plans to come again for it next year as we have an incredible time! I would highly recommend anyone living nearby or coming to the area to enjoy this great festival!

Went to this wonderful example of early American farming while in Ohio visiting friends. The barn…read moreis comprised of two square pens made of hand-hewn boards from trees, it is an interesting thing to see. Not being from Ohio, it was interesting to see and learn about the history odd the state as told through the Johnston family, who lived at and operated the farm from the early to late 1800's. The farmhouse was built in 1812, and added into shortly thereafter so to have both public and private areas. John Johnston was an Indian agent, and at most times had tribal representatives living in the land there. The spring house is still operating, the spring runs well and is smells so fresh! The canal system was especially interesting to me, it was started to move freight and goods from Ohio to other markets. Unfortunately the railways were more successful in the long run. However, you can take a short ride an a portion if the canal system that is intact on the property. Great way to learn about our heritage while enjoying the Johnston farm.

I've been to the Millersport Sweet Corn Festival a couple of times. Frankly, I enjoyed this one…read moremore. It seems smaller, but there were many good food vendors. Also other vendors and events. It is very kid-friendly, and dog-friendly. We were there for the corn, but mainly for the amazing corn dogs from Bite Me, a "gourmet" corn dog tent. Someone talked me into entering the corn eating contest. It was a weird, team event with several heats, so there really weren't any winners (or we were all winners, right?) The corn was good, the competitors were friendly, it was well-organized, and I had fun. Afterward we had a couple of corn dogs, including Sweetie's first-ever. A few sweet treats, a little wandering amongst the crowds, and we were off.

I was a little disappointed. I was surprised that only one booth was selling cooked corn. The booth…read morethat was selling fresh corn had it priced a bit high. I agree with supporting local businesses but the price was almost double what you would pay elsewhere. There was a nice selection of food. Everything from pork chops to BBQ and the regular carnival type fare. There were quite a few vendors. Tutus seemed to be the theme this year. Overall, it was a little disappointing. We may or may not be back next year.

We try to come here every year to get a bag of apples to bake my homemade apple pies. The number…read moreone reason we drive 45 minutes to Plain City from Delaware is their delicious pumpkin donuts! They are the best pumpkin donuts I have ever had in my life! Please try one. They cost $3 because they are actually bought from another bakery and transported here. We came during the Honeycrisps Apple pick day. We bought the large bag and headed towards the orchards. The security lady marked our bag and gave us directions to the different Apple tree selections available to pick that day. We chose from Honeycrisps, John Macks, Galas and Golden Delicious apples. Our bag was filled to the max. There were so many perfect beautiful apples. There were also so many fallen fruits...I was sad for the waste. We really enjoyed the experience. In the past when the weather is bad or the trees are bare, we just buy a bag of apples from the store. It's only $25 but you don't get the fun of picking them. The place is so beautiful and we always take a picture in front of the pond.

We picked apples today! Zestar apples which I had never heard of but they are delicious! When we…read morepulled up, the place looked vacant but it wasn't, we walked to the grey shed building and there was someone in there. Great experience, this counted as our Madison County experience!

This is a great small German town Oktoberfest! First off, beer comes in HALF GALLON MILK JUGS! Yes,…read moreI said it. They know how to drink their beer here. Normally there's TV's and a big screen saver u to watch the football games too if you're into that (it's a big Ohio State and Notre Dame fan area). There are 2 long food tents with your normal Oktoberfest faire, and some normal festival food if German style is not your thing. Fyi, they tend to run out of sauerkraut balls pretty early because they're delicious. There's a large artisan area that takes up 2 large tents. There's also some kiddy games here for the younger crowd to play to get little trinkets and prizes. There is a seller from Germany that is always selling hats and the pins and feathers to go with them. It will always be busy, just wait your turn and ask questions. They're super helpful! They'll even measure your head for just the right size hat for you! There's a tent on the other side from the artisan area that has some gambling and adult games if that's your scene; pull tabs, black jack, poke, chuck-a-luck/big 6, mug slide, etc. There's tons of portapots and beer trucks scattered at every end and intersection. There is craft beer, including ciders scattered around, but the main beer ticket buying spot is right in the middle. They take cash or credit! There are bands playing all over the grounds; the gazebo normally has the traditional oompa-pa band, and local favorites who play a variety of music that everyone can dance and sing along to are in 2 tents opposite it. You never hear the bands over each other which is nice. There's plenty of picnic tables throughout the grounds, and they have a great parade Sunday afternoon around 2 that goes down the main Street. So it's definitely a festival for all ages. Just know it normally gets a little crazy later at night with half gallons of beer being passed around. It's definitely worth a drive to check out!

Honestly, I was worried.... I was worried that it would be hot and miserable. Luckily, we had…read morefairly perfect weather. The first day was slightly hot, but still manageable. The lineup is diverse to the subgenres of country and I was excited that many performers that I think are ok pulled me in with fantastic performances. Cole Swindell and Lauren Alina did this for me. I of course thought Eric Church was the best. There was a bit of emotion with Montgomery Genty playing without Gentry and Eric Church losing his brother. The crowd blew me away. People we're generally nice people and everyone had a great time. This shocked me because there was so many highly intoxicated people, I figured there would be fights or people acting up. Generally the worst thing was getting a beer bath or someone stepping on your foot (which happens). It was fun to people watch, who knew there was so many ways to wear an American flag. The staff was respectful and helped with any questions when I called for information before the concert. Parking was also much closer than expected and reasonable in price. There is also some agencies that will drive people from hotels if you intend to drink. Food and beverage prices were better than any venue I ever seen. The cost of beer was 3, water was 2, etc. They also would allow people to buy cases. This venue also allows people to bring in food and drink as long as it is a small cooler. On the negatives, the line the first day was excessive. This seemed to be ironed out as they were trying to increase security for safety. I was in the gold circle and the security there were not checking wrist bands very well and there were many people in our section that weren't supposed to be making it very crowded. I did tell security who found some, but missed others. There was also some glass missed which made me nervous the person would fall and break it (I had flip flops on). I also didn't understand the gravel because it was fairly rough to walk on. Lastly, there was poor flow and not enough exits. This created bottlenecks and the feeling of being herded which can be nervewracking in a drunk crowd. Overall, the positives far outwayed the negatives. I enjoyed the festival and people. I am hoping to go next year.

I'm disables and some how I walked from Fourth St to Junk Food Alley. very disappointed that the Marketplace wasn't open on Thursday. How are those people supposed to make they're money on just the weekend!? My idea is to have a place for people to Drop off handicap people, then go find a place to park, and be able to pick them up at drop off point. we ended up getting picked up in the delivery lanes that were blocked off. Worked out well for us, but it needs to be for all!! I feel you're not accommodating the disabled and handicap people very well!

Wedged between Emma's Cookie Kitchen and Timmy's barbecue stand - and all the wafting greasiness…read morethat each Junk Food Alley vendor radiated - Mayor Tom Henry was pried away from his lemon shake-up Friday morning to commence the 43rd annual Fort Wayne Newspapers Three Rivers Festival. Snipping the red kickoff ribbon alongside festival workers and Executive Director Jack Hammer, Henry praised the yearly celebration as a transformative city staple. He recalled the festival's first run in 1969, when it was stationed along Columbia Street and mostly intended for business promotion. "Look what it has evolved to over the past 40 years - 500,000 people come into Fort Wayne every year and see what it has to offer," Henry said. He touted the nine-day event as helping "citizens rediscover Fort Wayne" who may take for granted the city's attractions. Now, the festival represents the intersection of proud heritage and forward-thinking development, Hammer added. He said selecting his most anticipated event is like choosing "which daughter I love more." Hammer eventually admitted RiverGames and International Village - two former offerings returning after brief hiatuses - will aid in breathing a "new life and new birth" into the usual lineup. For Henry, the lingering question had a more decisive response: He cited the Bed Race and the inventive methods teams employ to meet contest requirements as a personal delight. Of course, the mayor, who had to trade a fresh lemon shake-up and clamshell container of homemade sweets for the ribbon-cutting shears, also favors another festival essential. "We're standing at it - the nutritious food alley," Henry said. "This is always the fun place to be.
