Young Clinton-Massie cheerleaders had their own float in the Corn Festival Parade.

Cockshutt tractors, which were the featured farm equipment at this year’s Corn Festival, were near the front of the Corn Festival Parade on Saturday morning.

Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child entered a float in the Corn Festival Parade as the season for gift-filled shoe boxes draws nearer. The project focuses on needy children around the world.

The Wilmington High School Marching Band took part in the downtown parade.

The float of Tolliver’s Olde Fashion Applebutter was packed with people, flags and waves.

These wagon riders are fans of the Ohio State Buckeyes and sweet corn, too.

Veterans of the military participate in the parade, riding in a wagon bedecked in red, white and blue, including the wheel centers.

Eighteen handmade quilts will be distributed to local veterans thanks to a gift from the Clinton County Quilt Association. To accommodate veterans in wheelchairs, the quilts were made smaller in size like lap quilts. One quilter said the effort was a labor of love. Corn Festival Quilt Show Chairwoman Karla Brown said the project is in honor of the sacrifices made by the veterans and their families. From left are Richard Hartley of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), American Legion Post 49 Commander Jim Cook, Karla Brown, American Legion Post 49 Treasurer Charlie Shoemaker and American Legion member Paul Butler.

The team from NCB (National Cooperative Bank) displays the outhouse they made for outhouse racing in the Corn Olympics.

The obstacle course event at the Corn Olympics includes multiple activities, including three revolutions of a hula hoop. The Corn Olympics was moved indoors to the Livestock Exposition Center (cattle barn) due to rain Saturday evening.

Representatives of Wilmington Savings Bank and CMH Regional Health System compete in the obstacle course — and, yes, the high gate is an obstacle to be overcome.

Wilmington Nursing and Rehabilitation Center was the runner-up in the Corn Olympics.

Sometimes in life, you’d rather shut your eyes and hope it all turns out OK.

The 39th Annual Corn Festival took place through the weekend at the Clinton County Fairgrounds, with a wide variety, of entertainment, food, games, arts and crafts, demonstrations and big and little engines. Enjoying the event were three generations of a Wilmington family — little Ellie and Cooper Jenkins, mom Kelsey Jenkins and grandma Carol Foell.
