30th Annual John R. Simon's Sorghum Festival

Located in rural Scioto County, the "Sorghum Festival" has become one of the area's favorite events. Each year you are taken back to the 1800's when Sorghum was the leading sweetner made from Sorghum Cane. Delicious in flavor, rich in potassium and protein, the syrup can be poured on pancakes and biscuits.

For 30 years, the 5th generation Simon Farm has played host to thousands of visitors that come to enjoy rural Scioto County. This free event is easily accessed from State Rt. 73, State Rt.125 and State Rt. 52.

Bring your most comfortable lawn chair, sit back and listen to local musicians play Appalachian stringed acoustical music, or watch our local artisions make Apple Butter, homemade soap, toys, furniture, dulcimers, harmonicas, grapevine wreaths, wall hangings and hand made quilts.

The purpose of the event is to provides a place for the area's excellent atists to demonsate and sell items in the lovely Southern Ohio Hill Country, celebrate our heritage and preserve tradition.
