It’s that time of year again. The pools are closing. The kids are back in school. Leaves will start changing color. Bonfires are being lit. And…
The Old West Festival is back in town!
We went to the Old West Festival last year and had a blast. We watched a horse riding show, got deputized, rode a covered wagon, collected wooden nickels and cowboyed up to the saloon for a rootbeer. My son and I got to wear our cowboy boots and meander around the historically accurate old west town.
This year the Old West Festival runs from September 7 to October 6 and is located at 1449 Greenbush Cobb Rd. in Williamsburg, Ohio 45176 (just off U.S. Rt. 32, near Greater Cincinnati).
They are open Saturdays and Sundays only! Hours are 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (Rain or shine).

My boys would love to meet the Sheriff and see a gun fight! We would love to win the tickets!
I visited the Facebook page and loved the photos–it showed a lot more of what to expect from the festival. Guitars and banjos? Fire swallowers? Baby goats? I have a feeling I’d never get my son out of his cowboy outfit after this!
My two-year-old son is currently head over heels for anything that he can ride on (or watch other people ride on)–a horse, a covered wagon, an old-fashioned train, a cowboy’s shoulders (a.k.a. the shoulders of his cowboy-hat-wearing daddy), you name it! He would love nothing more than an afternoon at the Old West Festival. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
