ST. MARYS, OH (WLIO) - St. Marys Summerfest wraps up a successful weekend at its new location. The annual festival moved from Memorial Park to the Skip Baughman Complex this year. The new location gave Summerfest more room for the rides, food, and vendors that keep people coming back year after year. For the final day, they held a cornhole tournament with 35 professional teams coming in from around the state to compete, alongside three dozen armature competitors. The festival is something that the residents look forward to and benefits the St. Marys area.
“Summerfest is actually a fundraiser for the (St. Marys) Chamber of Commerce,” says Jason Drummond, Chairman of the St. Marys Summerfest Committee. “It is all volunteer work We all help out. It helps the small businesses out, it helps the chamber of commerce out. It is a very big tradition. Hats off to my committee, the chamber of commerce, and the City of St. Marys, they did a phenomenal job.”
Drummond says that the committee will start working on next year's Summerfest shortly after this one ends.
