Among the attractions was a car show with 75 entries. Six bounce houses, pony rides, a mini carousel, a foam pit, and a pedal tractor pull were among the many attractions for the youngsters. Winning the adult tractor pull was Brock Goodman.
The Corn Hole tournament sponsored by the Morrow County Chamber of Commerce proved to be a popular attraction once again.
The village police department members were dunked in the dunking machine. Bingo and other games were played in the park shelter house.
All businesses in the community and the Cardington Public Library participa- ted and members of Auxiliary Unit 97 served lunches in the post home where there was also entertainment.
Music during the event was highlighted by that of McGuffey Lane and the Jonalee White Trio sponsored by FC Bank.
Topping off the event was a spectacular fireworks display sponsored by Cardington Yutaka Technologies, Inc.
