Have you ever felt the desire to travel back in time? Well you have your chance this weekend without having to leave the comfort of your own county! The Yellow River Festival is a free two day celebration of the history of Marshall County full of fun for the whole family.
This marks the ninth year that during the first weekend of June that members of Marshall county congregate at River Square Park on the Yellow River in downtown Plymouth. Re-enactments occur at various points through out the weekend and include people wearing regalia from the 1800’s. Be prepared to also see some familiar faces, including Johnny Appleseed and Abraham Lincoln.
The food being sold reflect the particular time period portrayed by the festival. First Methodist Church is dishing out apple dumplings and caramel sauce, the Red Cross is serving buffalo burgers, the Boy Scouts of America will be providing Mooney’s Ice Cream, and the Yellow River Festival is selling pulled pork sandwiches and coleslaw with baked beans provided by Bruce’s Big Grill.
The event runs today from 10 am until 6 pm and tomorrow from 9:30 am until 3 pm. A more thorough list of events can be found on their website, yellowriverfestival.com
