Weekend features events from Big Wheel races to steintossen By CHRISTINE L. PRATT Staff Writer Bringing together locals, visitors and those who return to see longtime friends and family, the Ohio Swiss Festival is food and fun and a good time for all. The 61st Ohio Swiss Festival will be held Friday and Saturday, with Wednesday evening’s Swiss Miss providing an early kickoff. Festivities resume Thursday eve-
ning, starting with a 6 p.m. Big Wheel race and including a cheese auction and the crowning of the champion cheesemaker and the 2014 Ohio Swiss Festival Queen.

battle in heats to see who can scale the course the fastest in hopes of earning bragging rights as the Ohio Swiss Festival’s fastest peddler.” They’re not the only events for kids at the festival. The Kiddie parade will be held Friday at 2 p.m. along Main Street. “Everyone is a winner when children get to participate. This event features everything from smallest pet category to best-dressed Swiss boy and girl. Homemade floats seen in the past range from Radio Flyer wagons converted to airplanes and stagecoaches to Power Wheels modified to feature cheesetype tires,” according to the website. It’s followed by a kid’s pedal tractor pull, to be held on Friday at 4 p.m. in the steintossen area. Throughout the event, children, adults and entire families can enjoy fun at their own pace, taking in a variety of rides for both the very young and older riders, said Sugarcreek Mayor Clayton Weller, who said the rides are high on the list for kids, who look forward to the festival every year. Grammy-nominated acts like Del Sinchak and other popular polka bands like Hank Haller dot the two-day entertainment schedule. The polka music is especially well liked by older visitors, said Weller.
