Covered Bridge Festival, Festifair Arts & Crafts Show, and Shekinah Festival, Saturday, September 10.

This year, Union County will celebrate its covered bridges with the Covered Bridge Festival on Saturday, September 10. There will be guided bus tours, as well as drive-it-yourself tours. Previously, much of the festival was conducted in Marysville, but this year, there will also be lots of things planned right here in Plain City.

One of the biggest changes will be that the guided bus tours will be leaving not only from Marysville, but from the parking lot at Der Dutchman. A ticket booth in the parking lot will sell tickets ($8 for adults, $5 for kids 12 and under) for the tours leaving at 8:45 am, 10:15 am, and 11:45 am. These bus tours will visit bridges in the southeast portion of Union County.

Besides the bus tours, there will also be a Special Covered Bridge Festival postage cancellation stamp at the Plain City Post Office from 9 am to noon; a Covered Bridge Art Sale at the Plain City Historical Society featuring Bob Wilson’s art (Bob Wilson will be attending) from 9 am to 4 pm; kids’ activities, quilting, craft sale, and a spaghetti lunch (11 am to 3 pm) at the Pleasant Valley Senior Center.

Additionally, motorcyclists can participate in a C & A Harley Davidson Motorcycle Ride of the bridges for a $10 registration fee. Registration begins at 10 am with the last bike heading out at 11 am. The registration proceeds will be donated to the Union County Humane Society.

For a complete schedule of events taking place countywide, go HERE.

The Festifair Arts & Crafts Show will also take place in Uptown Marysville from 9 am to 4 pm with over 140 crafters selling their artwork. There will also be food and music, including the Black Diamond Bluegrass Band from 10 am to 2 pm.

The Shekinah Festival and Auction will also take place on Friday, September 9 and Saturday, September 10. The featured entertainment Friday evening will be The Mullet Brothers beginning at 7:30 pm. Admission is FREE to this Country Gospel concert. Our friend, Alfred Mullet, is one of The Mullet Brothers and we promise you, he is always entertaining–and a wonderful singer. You will not want to miss this concert.

Food booths will open at 6 pm and some will stay open during The Mullet Brothers concert.

The rest of the Shekinah Festival gets underway at sunrise on Saturday the 10th with hot air balloon rides and breakfast beginning at 7 am. Pancakes, sausage, coffee, and donuts will be some of the mouth watering breakfast items available. As always, there will also be lots of other food, activities for children, and many homemade items for sale. The much anticipated auction gets started at 10 am with the furniture and crafts portion. The hand-quilted quilts will be auctioned at 1 pm. Many of the auction items can be viewed on theĀ web site.

This is the 32nd year for “The Biggest Little Festival in Ohio,” which is the main way Shekinah Christian School raises money to keep their tuition rates affordable. Please stop by and support them.
