Patriotism filled the entire village of Fort Jennings on Friday as resident begin a full weekend of festivities! The Putnam County village kicked off this year's Fort Fest with the biker escort tradition of the POW/MIA wall as a way to pay tribute for our soldiers. Nearly 400 bikers along with emergency and military vehicles started their engines in Beaverdam and rode through Delphos, Kalida, and Ottoville before arriving to Fort Jennings. When the bikers arrived, the streets were lined up with festival goers passionately waving the American flag, a sight that symbolizes the meaning of Fort Fest- to honor those brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
