It is the second weekend of June, and that means a beloved Allen County festival makes its annual return! The Harrod Pork Rind Festival kicked off Friday drawing in large numbers of people into the village. Organizers were busy at work frying up homemade pork rinds on site. After festival goers grabbed their bag of pork rinds, plenty of other summer fair food delicacies, performances, and games were available for people to enjoy- all things people from near and far look forward to each year.

The Harrod Pork Rind festival kicked off Friday with the kids from the vacation bible school, and the pork rind princess contest.   The festival continues to find new events offer, like putting on their first ever fireworks show.   Organizers say that this long-time festival not only is a great fundraiser for local organizations but is a destination spot for people in the area.
