Day 18 - Zelienople Horse Trading Days

If you are looking for a nice summer festival, this is one to consider.  My sister and I have a Tastefully Simple booth there, but I always love walking around to see what is there.  Of course there are lots of crafters.  And festival food - wow - anything you want is there.  I recommend the white pizza.  Really, white pizza, at a craft show!  And for dessert, you MUST get the Amish doughnuts.  Oh. my. goodness.  Giant, warm doughnuts, dipped in glaze flavored with a hint of maple.  It's not unusual to see the line twenty people deep.

The festival seems to take over the entire town.  Not only are there booths at the crossroads in town, but if you walk down the main street, every store has a booth set up outside.  About two blocks down from the main part of the festival, there is a children's area with a blow-up jumper, a rock-climbing wall, pony rides, and a petting zoo, where kids can bottle-feed baby goats.

The day to go would be Saturday if you have kids.  There are a ton on fun things happening - frog jumping competitions, baby races, rodent races, a tractor pull, and more.  Check the website for other events, such as a karaoke competition and free concerts.  http://www.horsetradingdays.info/home

Fun stuff!
