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 Village of Harrod will be honoring American heroes during this year's Pork Rind Heritage Festival.
