OFFD 2011 begins

Old-fashioned farmers come to Old-Fashioned Farmers Days in (what else?) an old-fashioned vehicle. This couple drove the old Ford vehicle (no, it’s not an early Mustang) on the Van Wert County Fairgrounds as the annual agriculture-themed festival began its four-day run there on Thursday. The festival includes entertainment, exhibits of antique farm equipment (bottom), a variety of food items and many other activities. (photos by Jan Dunlap/Van Wert independent)
