The 2009 Clermont County Fair Parade in Owensville Ohio was a GREAT event!  The Clermont County Fair Parade had a huge turn out of floats and spectators.  The Harvest Pointe Christian Church Band did a fantastic job of entertaining the crowds and the float was a big hit also.  Everyone loved the Pirates and the Harvest Pointe Christian Church mugs that we handed out. We hope that everyone gets some good use out of the mugs and thinks of Harvest Pointe when someone in Clermont County needs some help!  A big thankyou goes out to the Stonelick Township Firefighters Association for organizing the Parade.  Click to see pictures of the Clermont County Fair 2009 Parade.   Below is an article about the Clermont County Fair in the Community Press.

 

Parade Kicks Off Clermont County Fair
"It was a great day. There were a lot of entries in the parade and it was a good start to the week," said Bill Scharber, Clermont County Agricultural Society president.

Scharber said he was surprised at the number of vendors and visitors the fair had for a Sunday.

"Usually the grounds are pretty empty by 6:30 or 7 p.m., but we had people on the grounds until about 10 p.m. or so," Scharber said. "A lot of our vendors aren't even open on Sunday and I would say about 70 percent of them were ... It was a great start."

The fair will be open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day through Saturday, Aug. 1. Admission is $10, but parking and grandstand events are free.
