Dakota Talbott from Paulding, Ohio, Wins pizza eating contest at Woodburn’s Summerfest.
This year marks the 150th Celebration of the Woodburn. Throughout the years, Woodburn has been known by several different titles including Phelps Station, Shirley City and its current name.
This past weekend residents and people throughout the area came together, braving the weather, having a good time in the park.
Beth Wood from Indiana Wild brought in animals for the kids and adults alike to enjoy. The afternoon also had carriage rides through the town and games such as corn hole and horseshoes. Unfortunately, the weather rained out the fields enough to halt the baseball and softball games, dampening everyone’s spirits a little.
Gloria Gerig, Woodburn Community Historical Society President, stated that the Sesquicentennial Books sold very well at the fair. The book tells quite a bit of history over the past 150 years and is a great read for people now and the next generations to come. Books are available by contacting the Historical society.
Woodburn has a lot to be proud of at this year’s Summerfest — the art, vendors, music, 5k race, and much more was just a fun time.
Watch for more information coming up in honor of Woodburn’s 150th celebration.
