The Clinton County Corn Festival is a long time tradition of many fellow Clinton Countiners.  We are a show like no other. We are not your typical “fair”, you won’t find carnival rides or conventional carnival games. Instead, you will be sure to find one of a kind games for all ages in the special events area! Anything from the skillet and rolling pin toss to the the cross cut saw competition! We also have a petting zoo and children’s corner for the little ones!

After you have played hard and worked up an appetite you can stop by one (or all) of over 20 vendors that are all local non profit groups.  A lot of the foods are home made that range from chicken and noodles, corn on the cob, pork and steak sandwiches, ice cream, and many other favorites! We would be willing to bet there is NO way you can try them all… we try every year!!

With a full belly you’ll want to sit down to rest for a bit, maybe even take a nap. We feature a live sound stage that always features a different act playing at almost all times. If that’s not your thing you can go out to the grand stands and watch tractor and horse pulls. Care to cool off for a minute? Swing inside the Expo Center or Quilt Barn. Both buildings have various activities going on all day long. Check out our schedule for what’s next!

Once you’re filled up, rested up, and cooled off head down to the craft, antique, swap meet, and flea market barns. You are sure to find something in these barns that you will just have to have!!! Or even step off the grounds for our downtown parade on Saturday morning!

Don’t forget about the Tractors, Engines, and Car shows!! We hold a Cruise in on Friday nights and a Car Show on Sunday! Our members of the Antique Power Club display their engines and tractors proudly all weekend on the grounds! Not to mention a working sawmill, 200hp Fairbanks, Bailing, and much much more! Jump on our shuttle wagon to take a ride around the grounds so that you can see what all there is to get off and look at!!

After a full day of fun and a few extra pounds be sure to stick around for our evening entertainment.  On Saturday night there will be a big name act on the sound stage that you will be sure to love! And of course, on Friday night you will find the Corn Olympics at the grand stands! If you have never watched the Corn Olympics you are in for a treat! The only place in Clinton County, possibly Ohio, that you will ever witness an Outhouse Race! Be sure to keeps your eyes open to the north side of the infield at dusk. Wayne and guys will be firing up the steamers for a Spark Show! Watch as the sparks shoot out of the Steam Engine into the sky. Wayne has a special secret that will get the sparks 30, 40, even 50 feet in the air! It has been told that you might even be able to see them all the way out on I-71!!

Everything you have read about here is just a start to the amount of fun we have at the Clinton County Corn Festival!! Our hours are 11am Friday to 5pm Sunday. Most nights things close down by 10pm. Be sure to grab a show flyer at the gates on your way in or stop by our office to get one during the show! One thing we know for sure is you will never be bored at the Clinton County Corn Festival!
